1Great idea, but to make this work you have to be wearing a funky gold crown-thing, have a red top with two gold birds on your chest, and you should be wearing star-spangled blue shorts and knee-high red boots. And you should be Lynda Carter. Actually, just being Lynda Carter may be enough. Try it and let me know how it works out, Lynda.– Bob Jarvis - Слава УкраїніCommented Nov 8, 2018 at 3:54

@BobJarvis Laurel didn't say it worked (in fact, she agreed with you and said it was discredited), she just gave a reference for what it was called. All that said, if you believe it will give you more confidence.... The Placebo Effect is a real thing.– Guy SchalnatCommented Nov 8, 2018 at 14:10

"Wonder Woman pose" is nice. I've never heard it used but its meaning is clear. "Teapot" is also good, but will confuse Americans who see very little soccer,-- er, "football." But these terms should not be confused with "akimbo," which refers only to the position where per dictionary.com one has; "hands on hips and elbows bent outward." "Akimbo" also has a different meaning than the other two suggestions. It doesn't express a serious reproach like the teapot gesture, nor is it boastful, like the Wonder Woman pose. It merely express impatience or mild disapproval of the one it's aimed at.– Wd FusroyCommented Jul 15, 2022 at 13:23

One last thing. "Akimbo" usually also connotes that one has not the hands themselves, but rather only the back of one's wrists on one's hips.– Wd FusroyCommented Jul 15, 2022 at 13:27

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
