ARM BEHIND HEAD

One or both arms raise so the hands rest behind the head, elbows flared outward.

MEANS

Confidence, comfort, or dominance. Sometimes deep thought.

CONTEXT

Common in confident men in informal settings. The exposed armpits and widened body signal “no threat here.” Read carefully in a meeting — the same posture can read as comfort with friends or as smug imposition on a colleague.

NOT

A stretch.
