Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]17th century; perhaps from French chiche (“stingy, niggardly; also "I dare you!"”).
Noun
[edit]шиш • (šiš) m inan (genitive шиша́, nominative plural шиши́, genitive plural шише́й)
- rude gesture in which the hand makes a fist and the thumb is stuck between the index and middle fingers, which indicates "nothing for you, nuts to you"
Usage notes
[edit]Not the same vulgar meaning that this gesture has in Western European countries such as Germany.

[edit]Etymology 2
