#Devil's Den:Jab HUG gaya TEL lene ! - Page 9

@Caco:Thats where Noodle faltered today..last episode it was so intense..MSK was in tears..Geet cried...they reach the outhouse and starts behaving as if nothing happened😕...so somewhere its the fault of the screenplay writer and director for this character inconsistency and no wonder both the actors looked lost😆...or mayb CVs trying to tell us that railway scene was just for timpeass and not the real confession😕

@bri, going too well watson, me proud of you!

@all, ome of us maybe emphasizing on the song but really was the episode consistent? Just after they got back home the magic spell was broken and they got all boss-sec again! How come?

Reference to the term Cock a Snook:

Meaning: A derisive gesture.

Origin

In trying to explain the origin of 'Cock a snook' it would be helpful to know what a snook is. Unfortunately we don't really. There is a species of fish called snook, but it isn't that, unless there's a form of derisive gesture that I've had too sheltered an upbringing to be aware of. A snook is also a promontory of jutting out land. That could have something to do with the gesture as it does involve sticking fingers out. Apart from this single phrase, snook isn't a word you would expect to hear very often. It is sometimes reported to be derived from snout, as in thumbing one's nose. That's possible but, although snout and snook are somewhat similar, why didn't they just 'cock a snout'. That term doesn't appear to be recorded.

The general understanding of what's meant by 'cock a snook' is the spread hand with thumb on the nose, preferably with crossed eyes, waggling fingers and any other annoying gesticulation that comes to mind at the time. It's what the Americans call 'the five-fingered salute'.

The use of cock is also difficult to explain. Again it might refer to the sticking out and turning up of the fingers. That would be in line with the term cocked-hat in which the brim is turned up jauntily. It could also be a reference to the shape of a cock's comb, which is rather like the shape of the gesture. It took some time for the gesture as we now know it to be established - various other forms were used in the past.

The first reference I can find that mentions the phrase is Wynne's Diary, 1791:

@Doodle...a great declaration of love and then nothing, nothing at all. I understand that Geet may be a little apprehensive, but the old Maan would have been aggressive, wouldn't miss a chance to let his lady love know that he has accepted her completely. Not saying he would jam his tongue down her throat, but how he was pursuing her when he was after her before the whole fake fiance bit. But nope not an ounce of MSK in him today. 😕

Plus we see TV to get out off reality at times, not to fall back into it.
