* As a body language signal: When she's in front of a man, a woman either crossing her arms over her chest, or placing her arms or hands in front of her chest while topless is a sneaky way for her to draw attention to her breasts as [https://web.archive.org/web/20140102084225/http://ancensored.com/clip/clip-picasso-trigger-edy Cynthia Brimall demonstrates] ([[NSFW]]). It's alleged to be a gesture of sexual anticipation laced with anxiety.

* There is a bit of a legend at Oxford. As a formerly all male institution, there is a short section of the Cherwell that has been fenced off for men to bathe in the river. Naturally, only the oldest and most esteemed professors, still quite fond of the old traditions, use these facilities. When the fence came down in a flood one day, the professors were too busy to notice. However, when a boat carrying several young female students went past, the professors flung their hands to shield the ladies from their most private of parts. One professor flung his hands to his face and claimed, "I don't know about you all, but I'm known by my face around here."
