Eddie Haskell would take one look at June Cleavage and immediately be all “Be right back.”

What about Beaver Cleavage? :sneaky:

I give the board the perfect follow-up opportunity and it takes four whole hours for someone to pull the trigger?

You mean this one, don’t you?


Some used to call it mano a borsa (“bag-shaped hand”), some didn’t. It does not matter anymore.

What matters is its meaning, on the other hand: that little handshape with the tips of the fingers together may be loosely translated in Italian as…

(drum roll, please)

…“What/Where/How/Why/When the f**k”.

Yes, indeed.

Just try to add that little hand motion to any Italian question: it turns it into something with an unmistakable flavour.

Che stai dicendo? → “What are you saying?” Add that aforementioned handshape and…Voilà! “What the f**k are you saying?”

Cosa vuoi? → “What do you want?” becomes “What the f**k do you want?” in zero time.

Dove andiamo? → “Where are we going?” turns into “Where the f** are we going?”

The beauty of a mano a borsa. It takes a bit of tongue in cheek to get its usefulness.
