Quenelle

French Comedian Dieudonné demonstrate the quenelle - a gesture which risks landing you with a prison sentence if made in public in France - or banishment from the team if made by an English footballer

The “quenelle” is a vulgar gesture roughly meaning “up yours”, with one hand placed at the top of the other arm stretched down to signify “how far up” this is to be. Using the name of a French dumpling, Dieudonné started using this gesture in a wholly different context years ago, as an expression of defiance, incredulity or indifference.
