Let's talk about the action of moving one's head.
You can do a lot with your...head...but let's talk about the acts of agreeing and disagreeing.
Why?
Because it's often described incorrectly in fanfic. Someone is always shaking their head 'yes', and I don't know why...
To shake one's head means to move it from side to side...indicating disagreement, or even confusion or awe.
To nod one's head means to move it vertically up and down...indicating agreement.
So, for your viewing pleasure, I bring Kristen Stewart, the Queen of head shaking.
P.S. I tried to find videos of one of the Twilight men doing these things, but...meh. You try YouTubing THAT...'Jasper shaking his head'...'Edward nodding his head'. Yeah. It doesn't work. Kirsten, though? EASY!
How hard is that?
ReplyDeleteNod means yes, shake means no.
Okay, I'm gonna hide now.
Ahh... The secrets behind Bella's body language... next on grammar girl?
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! One of my PET PEEVES (yeah, I hope I'm not the worst offender myself). When I read a story, its like watching a scene play out in my head. When she's shaking her head yes, it blows the whole thing for me.
