The U.S.
Army has rule against holding your hands in your pockets unless you're taking an object out of your pocket.
And I guess we could think of the debate stage.
Any politician would never be caught with their hands in their pockets.
Right.
And I think that to me is what's so interesting about the gesture.
Most hand gestures don't involve objects.
Say you take a sip of coffee with a coffee cup.
You wouldn't think about how I'm holding that coffee cup all that much when you're thinking about how to decode my mood or my, you know, feeling at that moment.
But I think when we remove our hands into our pockets, we're suggesting something about our unwillingness to engage with the other person.
You know, someone who stands with their back against the wall and their hands crammed in their pocket is sort of suggesting they're not with you, they're not engaged with you.
And so orators and politicians and people who study gesture all have to admit that even though the hand isn't making any movement, it is also expressive in the pocket.
There are lots of pockets with specific uses.
For example, in the 19th century suit, there was a little pocket called a ticket pocket.
And it was right under the breastcoat pocket.
And it was small so that you always knew where you had your ticket for the train conductor.
There's a fob pocket.
And that pocket is right at the belt
And it's a tiny little slit, and it was meant to hold, I think, money or a tiny little purse.
And the idea is it's really hard to steal anything from the fob pocket.
