Following on from a conversation with Katex on facebook (Katex didn't know what belm was.) This is a fab photo of a woman doing belm.

Who else remembers belm? :D

We belmed at someone when we thought they were lying.....e.g I won the lottery this weekend....BELM!!!

I'd forgotten all about it until someone mentioned it yesterday and since then I've been belming at everyone!

I haven't belmed so much on years! It's fab.....forget sticking fingers up, get belming! :mosher:

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

Yeah I remember it!! I was at primary school at the time, everyone did it. You tapped your hand on your mouth aswell!

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

I never heard of it ..... but it will help smooth out the wrinkles ;)

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!

I remember doing it at school, but I didn't know there was an associated verb until i saw the above clip.

'chinny recKON' with the emphasis on the KON and your fingers tapping your chin was another way of belming at our school

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

Looks like an age thing then Margaret.

LOL Lilly .. thanks for explaining it to me .. does it mean then that "You are talking a bag of wind" Like a blowing up a balloon, and then letting it down, but from the top end as a finale ?

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

We did 'belming' (although i never knew it had a name!) as well as the one you describe Gayle, only my younger brothers came home doing that but saying 'chinny racoon' :rolleyes::D their still just as stupid now haha

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

Our belming included a stroking of the chin.

When you were really good at it you could do one with just a slight downward movement of the lips, and a hardly visible chin thrust.

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 

I always thought it had something to do with Jimmy Hill having a big chin because we used to say 'Jimmy Hill' sometimes and then 'reckon' meant - oh, you reckon that's right do you?

Never heard 'racoon' before - perhaps a hearing test would have been in order ;)
