shrugged


Shrugged


Definitions: Raise(one's shoulders) slightly to express doubt, indifference, ignorance, etc.


Etymology:c.1400, schurgyng, of uncertain origin. Perhaps connected to Dan. skrugge "to stoop, crouch."


Although the news she brought to us was a bad one, we should not just shrugged our shoulders and do nothing.
