Good question - this “no way” doesn’t mean “I don’t believe you”, but rather “that’s outrageous!” or “you’re totally off/wrong!” - it can even have the nuance of “what are you talking about?!” :smile:

Does 'no way' mean 'no way' as in 'I don't believe what you're telling me' or 'no way' as in 'I refuse whatever it is you want me to do'? These are two quite distinct meanings, and I doubt that the gesture means both. Ex. 1. "I met George Clooney the other day." "No way!" ("Yes way!") Ex. 2. "Can I interest you in a set of encyclopedias?" "No way!" I’m a bit confused about this one.

Ex. 1. “I met George Clooney the other day.” “No way!” (”Yes way!”)
Ex. 2. “Can I interest you in a set of encyclopedias?” “No way!”

And good idea :smile: Teskalさん：　Hmm, it's really difficult to give an exact number... but generally there's a Japanese equivalent for almost every common gesture you can think of in English-speaking countries.
