I have a culture-clash question.

I'm watching the 6th episode of Coupling. The one about the closet of homemade porn.

Near the end, Patrick and Jeff agree on something, and they both do this weird hand gesture. Touching their nose while pointing at each other.

In the Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode _Weight of the World_ Spike made this same gesture at Anya when she correctly guessed "So then, you're saying-- Ben, is Glory."

What does this mean? Is this like, the European" thumbs up" or "Aye-OK" sign?

Inquiring minds want to know.

And, once again, love this show. Really, sincerely love it.

Like it a hell of a lot more than Sex & the City.

Probably because the characters are nicer people. Even the totally, mind-bogglingly shallow ones I find genuinely likable.

No, it was the exact same gesture. The person doing the gesture taps their own nose, right side, and points at the other person.

As these are two totally unrelated shows, and the only similarity is that Coupling is a British sitcom and Spike is a "British" character, that gesture must mean something.
