When a character is describing someone really sexy (or just their preferred gender in general), sometimes words are not enough. In these cases, the character may choose to show how sexy this sexy person is, by using a gesture that "paints a picture" of the sexy person's physique. Some of the most classic examples are: The "hourglass figure" gesture, used to describe a sexy woman. With both hands moving in parallel, a character traces a shape in the air that is wide at the top, narrow in the middle, and wide again at the bottom. In other words, an hourglass figure: wide at the bust, narrow at the waist, and wide again at the hips. The "large bosom" gesture (two cupped hands). When used in a work, these kinds of gestures can call attention to the sexiness of the character being described, but they usually do more to emphasize the lustfulness of the character making the gesture, since characters commonly direct these gestures towards their Lust Objects. Think of it as the visual equivalent of the Wolf Whistle. On the other hand, in scenarios where a character can't speak or doesn't speak the right language, gestures like these might be the only way the character can get the idea of "woman" (or "man") across to their audience. But even in these cases, a certain amount of lust may be implied. There is a noticeable gender gap here; women are far more likely than men to be the "targets" of these kinds of gestures, while men are far more likely to be making the gestures. |

In a Discworld tale, the City Watch are interrogating an arrested mime artiste. To Sam Vimes' great irritation, the arrested person is miming his statement. Sam is further not amused when the mime artiste, who is trying to explain what he was doing in the vicinity of the City's two iconic hippopotami note he was trying to poison them, sketches what looks like the classic hourglass figure in the air - only with some very expressive and wide hand gestures in the vicinity of the hips. Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs, who are conducting the interrogation, look at each other, and say "Lady Sybil!" At this point, Sam intervenes. | |

The Three Caballeros: Panchito makes the hourglass gesture during the titular song while describing a "Latin baby". As he makes the gesture, a silhouette of the woman appears in front of him. The silhouette then walks away from the three friends - hips swinging and beckoning them to follow - and they briefly fight over who gets to chase after her. | |

A Day at the Races (1937): In this Marx Brothers movie, Stuffy (Harpo) does a pantomime to tell Tony (Chico) about The Vamp who plans to seduce and frame Dr. Hackenbush (Groucho). When Stuffy makes the hourglass gesture, Tony's first guess is, "A snake! A big, big snake!" After Stuffy's gestures and whistles get more and more exaggerated, "That's-a no snake." (The brothers used a similar gag in their later movie Go West.) | |

Spongebob Squarepants: Parodied in one episode where Mr. Krabs traces the figure of Mrs. Puff in the air...but since she's a pufferfish, he traces a perfect circle. When SpongeBob gets tired of Krabs' contradictory messages over whether to spend money on her, he mocks this by wildly flailing his arms with the line still tracing their path. | |
