Finger snapping is a type of Human body language that is often used to accentuate a conversation. All races are able to perform the basic snap, while the variations (emotes) are reserved for Humans to employ at their leisure. All races are also able to perform the body part snaps.

You cannot SNAP with both hands full. If you attempt to do so, you will see the messaging, "You can't possibly try that if your hands are full." However, other players will see nothing.

Body Parts

Body Part You see: Others see:
Nose Cupping your face with your hands, you slyly press your fingers to the bridge of your nose while sticking your thumb inside your mouth. You pluck your front teeth with the tip of your nail to create a cracking sound, carefully keeping your mouth and nose hidden from view. You coordinate the noise with the motion of your fingers, creating the illusion of snapping your nose back and forth. Cupping his face with his hands, Player presses his fingers to the bridge of his nose. Suddenly, he pushes his nose to the right, creating a horrible snapping noise! He repeats the motion to the left and cracks it back into place.
Neck Pressing the palm of one hand under your chin, you jerk your neck wildly to the side, causing a loud pop. You let out an involuntary sigh as your body relaxes. Player grasps his chin roughly and jerks it to the side. You hear a loud pop and see him visibly relax.
Back You clutch your lower back and quickly twist from side to side. You hear a series of loud pops and sigh, feeling your body relax slightly.

Player grasps his lower back and twists roughly from side to side. You hear a loud pop and see him visibly relax.

Left/Right Arm You stretch your left/right arm across your chest, pulling it tight to your body by pushing with your right/left hand on the elbow. After you hear your shoulder make a satisfactory pop, you violently release your arm and snap it around in the opposite direction, creating a few more choice cracking noises in your upper back. Player stretches his left/right arm across his chest, pulling it tight to his body with his other hand. You hear a soft pop from Player's shoulder, and he suddenly whips his arm around to crack his upper back.
Left/Right Hand You use the palm of your right/left hand to push down upon the backs of the fingers on your left/right, directly on the joints. Not unlike the sound of corn popping, your knuckles release several snaps as they succumb to the pressure. Then, you steeple your hands together and press the left/right hand's fingers firmly backward, causing them to crack yet again. You clench and unclench your fist a few times to relax the muscles once again. Player pushes directly on the joints of his left/right hand with the palm of his right/left.

Finally, Player clenches and unclenches his fist a few times after the grueling ritual.
Left/Right Leg You straighten your left/right leg completely by pointing the tip of your toes toward the ground and lifting your heel. With a quick jerk, you kick your foot backwards under your body and flip it forward again. Your knee emits a few snapping sounds during the process, particularly when you wiggle and stretch your leg again after the initial maneuver.

Emotes

Note: Some emotes require a player target to work, while other snaps were designed with the intention that they be used alone.

Valid directions include: north, south, east, west, northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest, up, down, out.
