Popular gestures in Tik Tok and their meaning
Over the past few months, two gestures that TIk Tokers use in video or in real life have been considered in the TIk Tok trend. The first is to slide your finger under your nose and show the heart with your fingers. If you wondered what this means, we will explain.
- running your finger under your nose means that you are removing blood. If you are a fan of anime culture, you might often see in comedy series the moment when a man sees a beautiful girl and his nose starts bleeding. This means that the person is agitated and delighted so much that the blood boils,
- showing a heart with your fingers - such a gesture came to us from Korean culture. Korean boys and girls show this heart to show sympathy.
If we add these two actions, we get the following plot: you meet a person you like, your nose starts bleeding, you remove it and show your heart to the person. This is how you declare your admiration for the person..
The second no less popular gesture in TikTok is to stand up to full height and put two fingers to the bend of the elbow, this is called sheesh. This action is more difficult - Shish is often interpreted differently from Tiktokers.
Many people think that sheesh's action came from a famous basketball player. During the game, he pointed to his faith and said “Ice in my veins”. Literally it means "Ice in my veins", that is, composure. You might think that Tiktokers are declaring their steadfast and calm nature in this way through sheesh.
In fact, users use the Shish gesture to challenge. For example, if you saw a video where a person wants to do something, but friends laugh at him, and then he shows such a Sheesh gesture, it means a challenge. It can also be a challenge to the Tik Tok challenge.
