Here is an excerpt:

Quote:
Chin Jut
Gesture. Lifting the chin and leaning the head backward (dorsally, i.e., toward the shoulder blades or scapula bones).

Usage: Lifting the chin and looking down the nose are used throughout the world as nonverbal signs of superiority, arrogance, and disdain (Eibl-Eibesfeldt 1970, Hass 1970).

Um, I use that to say what's up dude, or something to that effect. It has nothing to do with arrogance.
