Slowly move your head up and back (like half of a nod).

Move your head up and back (as above) and click your tongue once.

Brazil • Ecuador • Italy • Mexico
Extend your index finger and move it side to side.

Lebanon • Turkey
Raise your eyebrows one to three times* while clicking your tongue. * Challenging for the Botoxed

I'm trying to get in touch with Thomas Berger about an article he wrote about Norfolk in which he mentioned a monkey in the zoo in the 70's that used to smoke and make nasty gestures at kids. This monkey was Chucky and I remember him well. In fact, my daughter who recently heard about Chucky, now wants to include his story in a school paper. I'm trying to find out what ever happened to Chucky. Any suggestions? Thank you!
