btw: does everyone have those two small weird gestures when
"saying" the "s (quoting or making an ironic remark or
whatever those are used for mostly...)? Two fingers going up
and down on both hands?

the fingers? yeah, you kind of get mocked for doing it, and
it isn't as common, but sometimes there are no other ways of
making the point...
