When YES means NO

[supermankelly]

Confused me when shagging a Bulgarian chick, she was saying No but nodding, so I just kept going as assumed she spoke bad english.

Interesting - their "No" is definitely a nod, but their "Yes" is more of a rolling than a yawing motion.

haha, so true !!! i got 2 Bulgarian friends, they confuse me when i ask question and they say no by nodding their heads !!

Yes, that is the reason why many Americans are getting charged with rape in Bulgaria. "But, officer, I thought she said yes!"

I was just there and they do nod that way.. our waitress and the taxi driver and we finally figured it out.

It's totally true!

FYI: Thumb up actually means "screw you" (middle finger) in many Middle East Countries. You should read "Language and Culture" by Ottenheimer.
