Origin

That picture is so random.Racetrackhiggins (talk) 02:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced of the origin story that 66.68.147.145 added. To me, shrugging seems to indicate showing that you have nothing in your open palms, and that you have no idea, perhaps. Anyway, my point is that there is no reference or citation for this origin story, and it's not obvious enough that it's true, so I've added a "citation needed" tag, and I think we should get rid of it if no citation surfaces. -- ToastyKen 03:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural Differences

I'd like to know if there are different meanings for the shrug in different cultures or if it is universal. Hermit9 (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"In the Arab World, the shrug is usually expressed by bouting instead."

On the internet, it is commonly representated by the emoticon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Rewrite of 2nd to last paragraph needed

The following excerpt needs a rewrite: "A specific rendezvous of chronic shoulder shrugs, also misconceived, are the symptomatic tics of Tourettes syndrome.[3] Shrugging by coping with indifference and indecision, psychotherapeutic or psychoanalytic the effectuated unconditional aspect can indicate anxiety[4] and numerous psychological disorders: a solute example is schizoid personality disorder.[5]" I strongly second this motion-there needs to be a warning at the top of the page.
