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.

And then she walks into a diner and Miranda's there and they hug. And yes, I'm a large sappy girl. :)

Everyone likes sap at least a little-- anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or trying to sell you something. ;)

(and there's my quote from the sappiest movie ever.)

Oh, I beg to differ!

The Princess Bride may be sappy, but its knowningly and campily (and wonderfully!) so! My vote for Sappiest Movie Ever? Beaches.

Ok, it's mock-sap. But that's my favorite kind.

Never seen that. I will some day.

I'm changing my vote. If The Princess Bride does not qualify because it's satire, then I'd have to say... The Bridges of Madison County. Recognized by all as unsurpassed in realm of sap.
