    You guys never heard of "Jazz Hands?*

    A very common and often spoofed dance move…. more like dance pose…fingers splayed, palms forward..

    These days it’s often considered a bit over-the-top.

    Thanks Susan. I thought that’s what it was, but I’ve not heard the phrase all that much……I’ve heard of Roman hands, though…..I was thinking that it was something like Han’s 57, short a couple digits….

    My family is from Holland and my Uncle is named Hans, so this gave me a chuckle, too :)

    It’s a pun on Jazz Hands, and the fact that Hans is a very common name in Germany.
