Facial expressions, hand gestures, body language all fascinate me.
If I was to go on Mastermind my specialist subject would be 'hand gestures of drivers in different countries'.

Yes, I saw those, too -- they are pretty good.

Cute page, except that I recognized all the gestures, except for "you're full of it" and "three sheets to the wind" Most of them are common to US and Mexican faces as well. The "he's full of it" is used in Mexico, but not in the US, as far as I know. It also means to watch out for that person, he's dishonest. The Mexican sign for drinking, including too much, is the hand held thus:  , tipping the little finger up as though drinking from the thumb. That French gesture is elaborate & clever -- getting the last drops from the bottle? |

Pulling down one eye-bag for "You're full of it" isn't exclusively French. It's not often done in the UK, but an older generation might have done it saying "You see any green?" (meaning "I'm not so stupid as to fall for that").
