Presented as a vid-ucate (short for video and education – now did I scare you to finish the entry?) the following video provides you with valuable lessons on body language in terms of vocabulary, grammar and semantics.

Now I’d like to give you a quick overview of my favorite non-verbal expression used on a daily basis.

“In a turtle like reaction of humiliation, the shoulders raise withdrawing the head, the place of knowing. The mouth pulls to the side. Indicating I have nothing to say because my speaking *** (orafus? I didn’t get that one) is distorted”.

The compound phrase shown in the video says I can’t speak of anything from the place of knowing. Simply translated into I – don – no.

Displaying non-knowledge can get you out of a lot of uncomfortable situations. But who am I telling this. No offense. The general rule is: Knowing too much can hurt. Both mentally (common appearance: headaches) and physically (bad guys beating the crap out of you because you know something about that mafia guy). Yet not knowing can cost – even if it’s only opportunity costs – you one heck of a lot (like not knowing the right combination for Wednesday’s lottery). Then you might want to use the following expression…

Here the arms are launched upwards symbolizing the jetatizing (?!) of invisible representations of self. Belief systems, expectations et cetera. [...] The lips begin to form the letter F, in an example of non-non-verbal translinguistic communications.

Those scientific terms can be translated as: I – am – angry.
