UR MFR Highness :
An involuntary, subconscious twitch? Really? Subconscious means while he wasn't actively thinking about it, it significantly influences his daily behavior, habits, and automatic reactions. FIFA can fire the other person but can't fire this one for making the exact same gesture? Get his twitchy behind outta there!

The first time I knew this was a thing was when Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy did it on the Graham Norton show in the UK. If you get caught looking at it then you get a dead arm.

Greta The Corgi :
Nah all he had to say was it was the dumb game we all played as kids and that would be that. Saying it was an involuntary hand gesture absolutely makes me think it's more likely to be that dodgy dog whistle.
