Kicking her feet?

[–] mke@lemmy.world 59 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As in, swinging her legs back and forth over the ground, like pendulums, I believe.

Ooof, why call that kicking?

[–] sh__@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's the same motion

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So is walking and almost anything else we do with legs, since that is the only real motion they ever do: back and forth. Walking would at least be the correct speed and alternating legs, but still be a terrible name for that leg swinging.

Walking is for the purpose of moving though. I suppose you could say they are kicking the air if that makes more sense.

It's when you're sitting down and swinging your legs backwards and forwards

Not sure if it's culturally-specific but I think it's basically intended as a (likely involuntary) body language display showing interest and excitement. She is so engrossed in the explanation of Naruto (or the individual giving the explanation) that she is not paying attention to what her feet are doing. And what they are doing is acting as an outlet for her excitement.

I couldn't picture this without seeing her as either very very short or very very young. Don't grown ups feet reach the floor?

Naw she's a 100 year old vampire, it's cool
