Raptor hands is a position in which you hold your arms so your elbows are bent in roughly a right angle in front of you with your wrists and hands relaxed. Many autistic people naturally rest their arms in this position.

Whenever an individual gets so drunk that at least one hand will pose as a raptor and the other is found either eating or drinking more beer. The elbow is by the side with the hand up near the chest region, the hand is limp with relaxed fingers pointing down.

A distinctive characteristic of an individual who has too much to drink. One would have raptor hands when one places their upper arms flat against their sides, only to have their forearms erected at a 90 degree angle, looking much like a raptor. Although scientists have studied raptor hands relentlessly, it is unclear why this pose is a side affect of intoxication.
"As soon as Steven began walking around the party with raptor hands, everyone knew that he had consumed the perfect amount of alcohol."

The posture girls or effeminate boys take when trying to look feminine and/or run. Often the default posture for 'prissy' girls, waitresses, retailers and intoxicated persons.
I thought Becky was drunk as she moved towards me with her Raptor Hands on, but then I realized she was just trying to run.
