He was a dab on stage… Arab singer and actor Abdallah Al Shaharani made a move during the concert« deb» - . The gesture, though dancing, but in Saudi Arabia is considered extremely indecent and even illegal - it seems to be a direct reference to drugs. But why?
Mass dancing dab (in the Russian interpretation "deb") began last summer - singers, actors, athletes and schoolchildren at breaks around the world. And then suddenly they thought, what is it actually? Most likely, the dab dance originated in Atlanta, but this is not a fact. For the first time the world saw this gesture in the video of rapper Skippa Da Flippa in 2014, and picked up ... "dab" went into rap, crunk and hip-hop. But there is another version - the movement really came from African Americans, who, having sniffed the "laughing" powder, sneezed, involuntarily leaning to the side ...
To perform a "dab" correctly, you need to lower your head down and bend right hand, bring it to your head, while left hand remains straight and slightly elongated to the left. That is, a person, as it were, drops his head on his hand, and maybe that's why the opponents of "deb" tie cocaine lovers here, who use it in a similar way - from the elbow. But then again ... there are no facts confirming this version, but the gesture has long outgrown the rap party - “dab” is very often done by athletes.
Here is the movement, without hesitation, hockey players do
... and this is how famous football players celebrate a goal scored against an opponent. Particularly known for his love of "debu" Paul Pogba is a midfielder for Manchester United and the French national team.
What is there! LeBron James himself is already a legend American basketball- with the help of "deb" he greets his team. And even in such an elite sport as tennis, there are deba fans - Victoria Azarenka celebrates every victorious set with a deb.
As for the Arab artist, heated debate erupted on the Web. Most of the Saudi audience considers such behavior unacceptable, and on the Russian Internet they stand up for the singer - they say, you can’t even dance!
Dab(dab) - dance move, when the dancer simultaneously drops his head while raising his arm to the elbow in a gesture that is similar to the "sneeze gesture".
Origin
There is an assumption that the dance originated from cocaine users who use it with similar motor actions. However, there is no evidence that this assumption is true. Cam Newton, NFL player from the Carolina Panthers, is well known for performing this dance after a goal has been scored. Also, football player Paul Pogba, being a Juventus player, celebrated his goals with this movement.
Popularity outside the US
In 2015, Dab gained nationwide exposure in the US, with XXL magazine reporting in August 2015 that "what started out as a regional impromptu style is fast becoming a hell of a thing in the clubs and on the streets. It's a phenomenon called Dabbin."

K: Wikipedia: Isolated articles (type: not specified)Excerpt characterizing Dab (dance)
“Yes, yes,” he said, “it’s hard, I’m afraid, it’s hard to get ... with anyone! yes, with whom it has not happened ... - And the count glanced at his son's face and went out of the room ... Nikolai was preparing to fight back, but did not expect this at all.- Daddy! pa ... hemp! he shouted after him, sobbing; forgive me! And, seizing his father's hand, he pressed his lips to it and wept.
While the father was explaining himself to his son, an equally important explanation was taking place between the mother and her daughter. Natasha, excited, ran to her mother.
- Mom! ... Mom! ... he made me ...
- What did you do?
- Made an offer. Mother! Mother! she shouted. The Countess could not believe her ears. Denisov made an offer. To whom? This tiny girl Natasha, who until recently played with dolls and now still took lessons.
- Natasha, full of nonsense! she said, still hoping it was a joke.
- Well, nonsense! “I’m talking to you,” Natasha said angrily. - I came to ask what to do, and you tell me: "nonsense" ...
The countess shrugged.
- If it is true that Monsieur Denisov proposed to you, then tell him that he is a fool, that's all.
“No, he’s not a fool,” Natasha said offendedly and seriously.
- Well, what do you want? You are all in love these days. Well, in love, so marry him! said the Countess, laughing angrily. - With God!
“No, mother, I am not in love with him, I must not be in love with him.
“Well, just tell him that.
- Mom, are you angry? Don't be angry, my dear, what am I to blame for?
“No, what is it, my friend? If you want, I'll go and tell him, - said the countess, smiling.
- No, I myself, just teach. Everything is easy for you,” she added, answering her smile. “And if you saw how he told me this!” After all, I know that he did not want to say this, but he accidentally said it.
- Well, you still have to refuse.
- No, you don't have to. I feel so sorry for him! He is so cute.
Well, take the offer. And then it’s time to get married, ”the mother said angrily and mockingly.
“No, Mom, I feel so sorry for him. I don't know how I will say.
“Yes, you don’t have anything to say, I’ll say it myself,” said the countess, indignant at the fact that they dared to look at this little Natasha as a big one.
Few understand the power they have in their hands. There are times when own hands can save or literally betray, and all this happens without your conscious participation. Of course, if you don't know how hand language works.
A person who speaks a language non-verbal communication, has a lot of advantages over his counterpart, and is able to hear not only what the interlocutor is talking about, but also understand what he is thinking about, or what he is not talking about. But let's talk about everything in order.
Today, many of the hand-showing symbols are internationally spelled and are equally understood by New Zealand Maori and African Masai. Why did it happen?
Why do the military put their hand to their head to greet, or to praise a person, we raise thumb up, and to offend - the middle one? The answers to these questions came to us from the past. Let's analyze the history of some of these gestures in more detail.
- Thumb up. Shows that everything is fine, and you are doing well. This movement came to us from antiquity. The Roman public, during gladiator fights, signaled in this way that for the diligence and diligence shown by the defeated slave during the battle, he could save his life. A lowered thumb did not bode well for the unfortunate warrior. Since then, it has become customary: the thumb points to the sky - you are at a height, to the ground - you are a bit of a loser;
- The greeting of the military when addressing the chief or when raising the flag, by offering an open palm to the head, is borrowed from medieval knights. In those ancient times, in order to show the purity of their thoughts, the warriors, at a meeting, raised their visor, thereby demonstrating the friendliness of their plans. Another version of the origin of this sign is associated with more early periods human history. In ancient times, given in order to show that only the sun is higher than their ruler, when meeting with the autocrat, they covered their eyes with their hands, thereby demonstrating humility. Over time, the form of the gesture has changed slightly, but the content has remained unchanged. People in uniform show their respect and commitment to superiors or state symbol by raising the hand to the head;
- A hand extended at a meeting, or a handshake. The origin of this greeting is explained quite simply. In ancient times, an outstretched hand, without weapons, symbolized your peace plans and respect;
- lifted up middle finger. There are at least two explanations for this obscene gesture. According to one version, the ancient Greeks showed this symbol to those with whom they would like to perform actions, the meaning of which reflects what we mean by demonstrating this gesture today. Another option goes back to the beginning of the 15th century, when, during the Franco-English battle of Azincourt, French soldiers cut off the middle fingers of a captured English archer so that they could not shoot at them later. Naturally, those of the English, whom the vile Frenchmen could not catch, showed them their middle fingers from a safe distance, thereby showing their disdain and courage. Why didn't the French just kill the prisoners? The question remains open;
- The so-called goat. A symbol that distinguishes true "metalheads" from the people around them. In one version, it is said that the sign originated among the ancient Vikings, and symbolized the Scandinavian rune that protects its owner from the evil eye. According to another version, this is the “springing” of Soviet prisoners, who, in order not to go to work, simply cut their tendons, and the hand took this shape spontaneously. Today, this symbol of coolness says that the person demonstrating it is a principled "thief in law", and he will not collect popcorn scattered in the cinema;
- The well-known American OK. There may be variations in this gesture depending on the part of the world in which you are. In some nations, it symbolizes that your affairs are in in perfect order, for others it means that you are a “complete zero”, and for some it shows problems with the large intestine. According to one of the most plausible versions this sign is borrowed from the non-verbal language of the native American inhabitants - the Indians, who thus showed their fellow tribesmen that there were no problems.
Some hand gestures and their meaning
Each gesture has its own interesting and multifaceted history, however, it's time to talk about their meaning and the practical use of this knowledge in everyday life.
open palm
In most cultures, an open hand is associated with honesty. Therefore, if you want to make people believe that you are telling the truth, it is not recommended to present your arguments with your hands clenched in fists.
At such moments, it is better to open your palms to show that you are not hiding anything.
On the other hand, be alert when someone says important things to you with their hands in their pockets or hidden behind their backs. Hidden palms do not make phrases more believable, even if they are correct. With a high degree of probability, it can be argued that your interlocutor is lying or hiding some important information from you.
Palm position up and down
The way you use your hands when communicating with others can greatly affect how they perceive your words and yourself. Ask a simple question with your palms up and people will think you're asking for a favor.
On the one hand, they will not be bothered by your request, but on the other hand, they will not feel threatened or pressured by you. If you ask this question with your palms facing down, it will be more like a requirement that must be met.
It can not only set the tone for any business or political meeting, but also influence its results. When two equal interlocutors shake hands, their palms remain in a vertical position.
But if the palm of one person is facing upwards when shaking hands, this can be perceived as a symbolic surrender, and denote the superiority of another person.
When talking, your interlocutor holds his hands behind his back and makes meaningless movements with them - he is not interested in you, you should stop the meaningless conversation, or move on to another topic.
What is the meaning of finger gestures
No less revelation can be gleaned from the position of the fingers on our hands. Let's give some examples.
There is a fine line between a hand gesture and a finger gesture, but we will talk about those cases in which the movement of the fingers is an independent signal.
Some finger gestures are unintentional, and by their position one can unmistakably read in which emotional state there is a person, or about his attitude to the topic of conversation. 
- finger on the mouth - they lie to you;
- when talking forefinger involuntarily points in the direction of another person - clear sign dominance;
- index finger up - you should be wary of such a person, since the gesture is often used by parents in relation to a negligent child;
- fingers are straight and tightly pressed to each other - the person has made a firm decision to achieve his goal and he does not care about sentiment;
- fingers squeeze the wrist or palm of the other hand - the interlocutor is furious, trying to restrain his emotions;
- fingers are clenched into a fist from time to time - a clear sign of a hidden threat.
What about deaf people?
Many gestures, unconsciously used in communication, are reflected in the alphabet for the deaf and dumb.
The sign languages of the deaf and dumb belong to independent languages, which consist of combinations of hand and finger movements in combination with facial expressions, the position of the mouth, lips and body.
It is a mistake to assume that sign languages for the deaf and dumb were invented by hearing people in order to convey information to the non-hearing. In fact, these languages develop quite independently.
Moreover, in one country there may be several sign languages that do not grammatically coincide with the verbal languages of this country.
As practice shows, in the absence of the ability to use sound language as a means of communication, people instinctively begin to use gestures for this. The main means of communication for this are hands and fingers.
At the same time, deaf people have a lot of gestures, the meaning of which can be understood by an unprepared person. For example, the word “peace” in the language of the deaf and dumb will look like hands clasping each other located in front of the chest, “love” is a palm raised to the lips in the form of an air kiss, and “house” is palms folded in a triangle in the form of a gable roof.
Youth hand gestures and their meaning
Our children also use sign language for their communication, and the variety of these non-verbal signs is constantly enriched by the emergence of new ones. Here are a few examples of such youth gestures, with the help of which teenagers can easily understand each other, and people of the older generation, and even middle-aged people, will remain in the dark.
time and scientific and technical progress dictate their terms, and this fully applies to our gestures.
More recently, a hand folded in the shape of an English L did not mean anything, but today it is a loser, a sign that you are a loser.
An extended middle finger pointing to the side can mean that you are being sent, at the same time it can be interpreted as an invitation to sex.
With fingers folded in the form of a heart, everything is simple: "I love you." But the “horned goat” with the thumb laid aside means simple sympathy.
The English V, performed by a teenager with the back of his hand turned towards you, can mean both two "Cola", and serve as the equivalent of the middle finger in the UK. And such a familiar sign as OK, but upside down, and shown at waist level or below, is a frank invitation to sex.
Thanks to the specific versatility with the help of the tongue of the hands and several widely used English words you can chat with a foreigner who happened to meet on a busy street. Of course, you won’t be able to conclude a contract for the supply of gas equipment with him, but you can easily explain how to get to the nearest metro station or stadium.
Differences in the interpretation of familiar gestures in different countries
Do not rush to apply your wide knowledge of sign language when you are abroad. Some common symbols may have opposite meanings in different parts of the world. Let's look at the examples again.
- If you're in France, the worldwide OK turns into a big fat zero. And in Turkey, with such a gesture, you will signal that your interlocutor is gay - not a very pleasant statement in a country where the majority of people are Muslims;
- A thumbs-up and an outstretched forefinger means loser in teenage sign language, and in China this symbol represents the number eight;
- A thumbs up in Europe and America says: “Everything is cool”, and in Iran, Afghanistan and Greece this obscene gesture will be read: “I ..., you ..., and all your relatives ...”, you understand;
- The crossed index and middle fingers protect Europeans from the evil eye, and in Vietnam, such a figure denotes the female genital organ;
- The stretched forward five stops all over the world, and, as it were, says: “Wait,” and in Greece it literally translates as “Eat shit.”
If, as the proverb says, silence is golden, then continuing associative series, in some countries, the lack of gestures is a gem.
The gestures and their interpretation that you have read are not limited to the examples given. The purpose of our article is to popularize, interest and direct. Perhaps our theses will help solve small problems. life problems. Or maybe not small.
Some more additional information the most popular gestures are in the next video.
Victoria Azarenka has had an impressive start to the year, with a title at the Brisbane tournament and only five games lost in three matches at the Australian Open. At the same time, she began to celebrate her first victory in the 2016 season special move, which can already be considered its new feature.
Many fans still do not fully understand what this movement is and what it means. The Belarusian woman herself told reporters:
“It's called a deb. This is from American football, such a dance in honor of the victory, there are many similar funny things. Very entertaining. I like. Cam Newton, with whom we have one agent, launched this tradition to the masses. So I just wanted the agent to laugh. And then Cam found out I was doing it. Well, I don't know, in general. I think it's just cool."

Tennis
As for tennis, in addition to Victoria Azarenka, in mid-January, the 22nd racket American Jack Sock was noted for debbing. But he turned out to be somehow too modest.
Well, Victoria still brought the deb to tennis before Soka, using such a gesture for the first time after the starting victory at the tournament in Brisbane.
Vika continued the tradition in Melbourne, so this can already be considered her chip:
Victoria and Cam Newton share the same agent, Carlos Fleming. Whether it worked or not, Victoria told ESPN yesterday that Cam Newton approved of her deb: "Cam said he'd recognize his own and that my style was approved."
In 2016 we see new Victoria Azarenka, and I'm not talking about changes in tennis, I'm talking about her internal state harmony, which she seems to have found. She learned to love herself and accept her flaws. She wants to show her real self.
“Not many people know me, the real me, they just see what I am on the court,” she says. - I wrestle on the court, I swear, I dance, I'm just a rebel, whatever, but in fact I deep man, I'm interested in the most different topics and I found a way to show the real me.”
“Here, for example, I created a video. I directed it, my friend and I wrote the music. I make myself. Perhaps not many people have the courage and creativity to do this, but I want to see the new kind athlete in the world, and in the tennis world in particular. We lack personalities different personalities, gambling personalities.
Is it because people are afraid to show themselves as different, not like everyone else, and for this they will be condemned or neglected? “I think this is a huge issue in social media right now. You are so easily criticized, but if you pay attention to all this, you will never become great. You're just trying to fit in, and I don't want to fit in, I want to stand out."
Bring something new to your sport - why not stand out? Among tennis fans, thanks to the efforts of Victoria, the deb is gaining momentum, and this image of Vicki is already walking around the network:
- For now, yes. - she answered reporters.
- For luck?
- Just. I don't believe in luck. I believe I do hard work.

The modern world is full of dances. Almost all young people dance, come up with some new styles, while making any of the types of dance newer and newer. And in many dances there are separate movements that are remembered by many for a long time.
Today we will talk about one of these movements, which gained a lot of popularity around the 2015s. What kind of movement is this “to cover your face with one hand and take it to the side with the other” we will analyze in this article and try to give a concept to this. Let's get started!

However, not even Pogba himself made this dance popular all over the world. No, not him. But he was close. Glorified him all over the world italian singer Fabio Rovazzi back in December 2016, which helped this dance gain popularity all over the world.
It's funny that myself the singer is a rapper, which made this dance the most popular among rap culture. And given that now almost every second person listens to rap, then at least half of the world's population clearly knows about this dance. Here is such a fact.
This movement can be seen very often in different stadiums, where famous performers after having sung their track perform this simple but very popular gesture. We talked about the dance taking place in 2014. Yes it is.

Everyone repeats exactly the movement that he performed and try to imitate this person. They may not know the name of the hero, but they can repeat after him, because the movement is extremely simple and absolutely everyone can repeat it.
In Saudi Arabia there was even a small conflict that is difficult to understand for an ordinary resident of Europe. In 2018 one of the players "Al-Nojum" performed the same gesture after scoring. Yes, he just repeated the dab to celebrate his goal.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. However, this gesture is prohibited in this country and our hero had a hard time in the future, because he threatened with imprisonment. Those are the strict rules. The commentator then even said the phrase “No, no, no”, because he understood what this threatened the athlete with.
On this, our article came to an end and we explained what deb is. Or dub, you can call it whatever you like. Both options are correct.
We hope that after reading this article you have understood how much this gesture helps to reveal the personality and how much it means to modern world. Use it, have fun and share it with your friends.
