The Indian Head Wobble Demystified
The peculiar Indian head shake, wobble, or bobble is the source of mush confusion and wonderment among foreigners, especially the first time one is confronted with it. It looks like a cross between a nod and shake, but does it mean yes? Or does it mean no? Or even maybe?
The confusion is made even worse when the wobble is silent. Without speech to give any clues as to the message it is easy to feel bewildered.
