An example of an air quote:

And my favorite, Air Guitar! lol:

In thinking how to explain what "air quotes" are, I realize how challenging it is to translate non verbal communication, especially slang.

Air quotes is a way to mock someone else's choice of words. For instance, my boss tells me she is "busy working," but really she is playing solitaire on her computer. So, I go to my co-worker and say, "the boss is too busy 'working' to help us right now." When I say the word, "working," I make imaginary quotes in the air with my fingers on both hands. Picture making peace signs with both both hands, and curling your fingers as if you are scratching quotes in the air.

A silly trend, if you ask me.

An intriguing question. Thanks.

This may give a clue: (From "The Phrase Finder, by Gary Martin.)

Please, pattyp, can you explain what an "air quote" is. I am so curious to know what your question means. Someone has voted for this question and I am wondering what they know and I don't.

Sorry, I tried to copy and paste out Mr. Martin's text but didn't succeed.

Try Googling "air quotes" and you'll find a link to his book down below.

To paraphrase: Mr. Martin says the phrase originated in the US. First mentioned and described in "Spy" magazine in 1989.

Earlier references to "air quotes" appeared as early as 1927.

Whether "air quotes" have become universal, he doesn't say.

Hope that helps...

jejeje, cheesie, I just love this air guitar thing, I think it is sooo stupid, sorry, no offence.

So, an air quote for Spain:

Now this has been a real catch, the Guardian published a short explanation for tourist how to interpret Spanish gestures.
