What do you call the gesture whereby you rest your palms, the front of your fist, or your wrist on the side of your hips?



Kind of like these examples:
Woman with left hand on left hip and sword in right hand.Man with hands on hips.



Update: Guess I should've made it clear: I did Google "hands on hips gesture". I didn't get a concrete source to back it up, so I went ask here.

    In the OP's first photo, only one arm is akimbo, and I've never heard arms akimbo used for just one arm. However, Googling finds a number of hits for "left [right, one] arm akimbo," and the meaning is perfectly clear, so I'd say you should go ahead and use it like this.

It's called.... "putting your hands on your hips", or possibly the "hands-on-hips pose".



Google gives me 1.9m hits for "hands on hips".





Notes on the google result:




  • I've used quote marks, to ensure that the three words appeared in that order with no intervening words

  • This shows that the three words occur in sequence very frequently. This suggests (although unfortunately doesn't prove) that there isn't a widely accepted single word or simpler phrase

  • Compare for example, a description of a salute, which could be "hand at head", "hand by head" or "hand beside head" giving 61000, 19000 and 159 results respectively. These phrases aren't common, because the word "salute" exists and gets used instead.

  • Because "hands on hips" is simply describing what is being done, rather than being a set phrase, normal resources like dictionaries don't have it as an entry, so these can't be used as evidence to support this answer. I've checked Cambridge and Merriam-Webster.

    Yeah, just what I need. Googling something, get the exact thing word for word I'm supposed to look for without knowing for sure if it's the thing I'm looking for. I guess I should start putting "Google gives me about 2m hits" in my Wikipedia footnotes from now on. Reminds me of all those times Google searches never failed me.

    For what it's worth, "hand(s)-on-hip(s)" is definitely the term I would use for this - I think it's in much more common everyday use than "akimbo".

    I think the Google search for "hands on hips" is not really representative -- you wouldn't say that in ordinary speech or writing; rather, it would be "with his hands on his hips", replacing "his" with the appropriate name or pronoun.

In cricket, if a player stands in this pose (with both hands on hips, like the OP's male example) looking angry or frustrated (because another player has messed up, for example) it's often called a "teapot," from the similar shape of an old fashioned teapot with two handles.




Stuart Clark's teapot would have made Glenn McGrath proud




I don't know if that usage has spread elsewhere, though!

    @Graham No, what you describe as a " teapot" is a "sprinkler" - but used as a victory dance, not a static pose like the OP's pictures. youtube.com/watch?v=KFeqH8EGBHE
    – alephzero
    yesterday










  • @alephzero This could be a cultural thing for English-speaking countries then. I'm referring to a children's song called "I'm a little teapot", which is familiar to all English-speaking people from childhood. Traditionally, teapots have a single handle and an opposing spout, which is why your answer is incorrect. Samovars may have two handles, as may teapots designed to aid people with limited grip, but a traditional teapot does not. Anyone familiar with cricket should also know what a teapot looks like. :)
    – Graham

  • Of course I know the "teapot song", but I've never heard the distinction between one and two "handles" made with reference to teapotting cricketers.

The one with both hands on the hips is sometimes called the "Wonder Woman (power) pose", especially in the context of the (now discredited) theory of power posing:






This one has been dubbed the "Wonder Woman" by the media.

Your body language may shape who you are







That's right, there's a new power pose in town, and it's called the Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, staring confidently forward.

    Great idea, but to make this work you have to be wearing a funky gold crown-thing, have a red top with two gold birds on your chest, and you should be wearing star-spangled blue shorts and knee-high red boots. And you should be Lynda Carter. Actually, just being Lynda Carter may be enough. Try it and let me know how it works out, Lynda.

    I've heard it called "power pose"




    Power posing is a discredited hypothesis in psychology that claims that by assuming a "powerful" posture, subjects can induce positive hormonal and behavioral changes. It was introduced in a 2010 paper by Dana Carney, Amy Cuddy, and Andy Yap.1 The idea has been referred to as pseudoscience

      Actually, "power pose" is a category of several positions, including the one where you raise your arms above your head and another where your hands are behind your head.

    • The expression 'power pose' started in the 1950's and took off in the 1970's. (Superman started posing in 1938).

    It's called.... "putting your hands on your hips", or possibly the "hands-on-hips pose".



    Google gives me 1.9m hits for "hands on hips".





    Notes on the google result:




    • I've used quote marks, to ensure that the three words appeared in that order with no intervening words

    • This shows that the three words occur in sequence very frequently. This suggests (although unfortunately doesn't prove) that there isn't a widely accepted single word or simpler phrase

    • Compare for example, a description of a salute, which could be "hand at head", "hand by head" or "hand beside head" giving 61000, 19000 and 159 results respectively. These phrases aren't common, because the word "salute" exists and gets used instead.

    • Because "hands on hips" is simply describing what is being done, rather than being a set phrase, normal resources like dictionaries don't have it as an entry, so these can't be used as evidence to support this answer. I've checked Cambridge and Merriam-Webster.

      Yeah, just what I need. Googling something, get the exact thing word for word I'm supposed to look for without knowing for sure if it's the thing I'm looking for. I guess I should start putting "Google gives me about 2m hits" in my Wikipedia footnotes from now on. Reminds me of all those times Google searches never failed me.

    In cricket, if a player stands in this pose (with both hands on hips, like the OP's male example) looking angry or frustrated (because another player has messed up, for example) it's often called a "teapot," from the similar shape of an old fashioned teapot with two handles.




    Stuart Clark's teapot would have made Glenn McGrath proud




    I don't know if that usage has spread elsewhere, though!

    • @alephzero This could be a cultural thing for English-speaking countries then. I'm referring to a children's song called "I'm a little teapot", which is familiar to all English-speaking people from childhood. Traditionally, teapots have a single handle and an opposing spout, which is why your answer is incorrect. Samovars may have two handles, as may teapots designed to aid people with limited grip, but a traditional teapot does not. Anyone familiar with cricket should also know what a teapot looks like. :)

      Great idea, but to make this work you have to be wearing a funky gold crown-thing, have a red top with two gold birds on your chest, and you should be wearing star-spangled blue shorts and knee-high red boots. And you should be Lynda Carter. Actually, just being Lynda Carter may be enough. Try it and let me know how it works out, Lynda.

    • @BobJarvis Laurel didn't say it worked (in fact, she agreed with you and said it was discredited), she just gave a reference for what it was called. All that said, if you believe it will give you more confidence.... The Placebo Effect is a real thing.

            I've heard it called "power pose"




            Power posing is a discredited hypothesis in psychology that claims that by assuming a "powerful" posture, subjects can induce positive hormonal and behavioral changes. It was introduced in a 2010 paper by Dana Carney, Amy Cuddy, and Andy Yap.1 The idea has been referred to as pseudoscience

              Actually, "power pose" is a category of several positions, including the one where you raise your arms above your head and another where your hands are behind your head.

            • The expression 'power pose' started in the 1950's and took off in the 1970's. (Superman started posing in 1938).
