To stand with one's arms crossed/folded is a very common expression in English, but it means to not do anything.
While we toiled away in the kitchen, he stood there with his arms crossed (and didn't lift a finger). cruzarse de brazos = not to do anything (not to lift a finger) Last edited by Rusty; September 12, 2009 at 10:07 AM. Reason: augmented
