Leí este artículo y me dio risa y más risa me dio los comentarios. Pienso guardarlo.

I read this article that made me laugh. If you can read Spanish well, the
comments from the readers is especially enjoyable. The Spanish article give you an option to
read the original English report from the British paper The Guardian.

Ojo: El gesto para "está lleno de gente", en México a veces puede usarse también para decir que alguien tiene miedo. Y el de "estar a dos velas" es un gesto obsceno, que nada tiene que ver con la falta de dinero.

El 'güeno,güeno,güeno gesto significa aquí --casi el mismo significado. Oí que este gesto es obsceno en algunas culturas.

Yo tampoco me he encontrado con que sean gestos obscenos ni el pulgar hacia arriba ni el de "güeno, güeno". También los conozco como que expresan aprobación o que algo está muy bien.

Curioso...

Yo también considero obsceno ese gesto de "güeno, güeno,...". Y "güeno" no es una palabra usada en el dialecto andaluz, sino que es una palabra mal pronunciada, por ignorancia o por hábito. Un andaluz medianamente culto nunca diría "güeno"

El gesto "güeno, güeno" parece el gesto OK en EEUU que en algunos partes de sudamérica tiene un otro significado.

Small corrections.

Not in Chile, at least.
