Limp Wrist

A wrist action to refer to gays.

The limp wrist meme was launched online when an interview of Cate Blanchett for Cinderella in 2015 resurfaced on Twitter. She used the limp wrist to clarify “gays” and not the “gaze” in a miscommunication.

Reporter to Cate Blanchett: you have such a gaze—
CB: I’ve got a whole lot of gays?
R: you have a signature Disney villain gaze. How do you do it? Can you teach me—
CB: Oh I’m sorry, I thought Disney villain GAYS. As in the gay Disney villains...
R: *laughs*
CB: Sorry this is an accent disfunction. You mean the gaze *stares*, not the gays *limp wrist*.
