LIP LICK

The tongue passes briefly across the lips.

MEANS

Anxiety, anticipation, or simply dry lips.

CONTEXT

Popular literature treats this as a strong stress signal. The research is mixed. Some lip-licking is genuinely anxious; much of it is environmental. Treat as weak data unless it appears in a clear stress cluster.

NOT

Anything reliable on its own.
