Limp wristing

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The unconscious phenomenon where someone holds their wrists at a bent, relaxed angle (T-Rex style) while talking or walking, completely unaware they're doing it until someone points it out. Once called out, the wrists snap to attention faster than a soldier at inspection, usually accompanied by vehement denial.

Example Usage

Every time Sarah gets excited telling a story, she starts limp wristing, and every time I mention it, she swears she wasn't.
