Mexican Shrug

A body or facial expression (movement) done by Hispanic individuals to express doubt, unfamiliarity, unawareness and/or inexperience in situations where simply ‘shrugging’ your shoulders is an acceptable response. This is frustrating to different cultures (mainly American) because simple body movements, don’t answer all of life’s woes.
