Lots of talk of “give your head a shake” but for context, “give your head a shake” from Cretien is functionally “fucking donkey, tabarnak”.
Do I think even harsher words and action are necessary? Fuck yes. But this is a nuanced fuck you coming from him so at least gets a 3/10 instead of 1/10.
Edit: tabarnak
I just wanted to know if "give your balls a tug" means the same thing
Pretty much, but the Quebecois have a multiplier effect when using non-offensive English words that are like stem cells for beautiful insults.
i feel like maybe things would be better if he had kept his head perfectly still that one time
Or maybe he should have shook it harder
Yah know this cutesy "Make fun of Trump for being an idiot" rhetoric is nice and all, but how about people take a principled stand against the fact that he is a fascist trying to install a fascist regime.
I just wanted to share news and ask if "give your head a shake" means the same as "give your balls a tug"
My first thought too 😂
I'm not really trying to shit on you or anything, more so just wanted to express that I'm upset news outlets and politicians aren't taking Trump seriously as a threat.

Kinda, how I understand the terms:
The shaking is in the hope to dislodge the thought.
The tug is to highlight the self gratification aspect of the statement.
They can be used similarly but have different tones.
I've only ever heard a Canadian say it, it means that they think your thoughts are all jumbled and if you shake your head a bit maybe some common sense will settle in. So maybe it's Canadian slang, eh?

Maybe....if he does it underwater. Until the bubbles stop. Or on an active runway after firing more air traffic controllers.
Just like that silly Mr. Hitler should have given his head a shake. Biting stuff against Nazis.
Fred should have given him a good shake in the crib
Maybe he did and we are living with the result because Fred stopped too soon.
