Can anyone enlighten me as to the meaning of a signal my son and his mates are making it's a finger slide down the jawline and then the finger to their lips?

Oh yeah "Mewing".
It basically means I can't talk because I'm doing something with my mouth/jaw - you can tell I don't properly understand it all 😂

My older two are doing this all the time at the moment too. One of them also keeps asking me what Sigma is. I'm totally clueless on all fronts 😅

It's mewing. They place their tongue at the roof of their mouth which causes the chin the tighten underneath and a sharper look to the jaw, signified by running the finger down the jawline.

At least, that's what's supposed to happen. Most 11yr olds seem to just do the finger bit and a contemptuous look which just makes me laugh and do it back properly.

It's some tiktok nonsense I think. Doesn't really mean anything as far as I know.
Edit: I mean it doesn't actually mean anything you should worry about. It's just a daft craze.

I've come across this, it's a signal to mean "I'm not talking because I'm busy exercising my jaw muscles"...... Clenching them or something....
