To shrug is a gesture where you raise both shoulders and usually lower your head slightly. It is most often used to express:
* Indifference: "I don't care" or "It's not important to me."
* Uncertainty: "I don't know" or "I have no idea."
* Disagreement: "I don't agree with you" or "I disagree."
* Acceptance: "I can't do anything about it" or "It is what it is."
Example Sentences:
* "He shrugged and said, 'I don't know what you're talking about.'"
* "She shrugged off the insult and walked away."
* "He shrugged his shoulders in agreement."
The meaning of "shrugged" is usually clear from the context of the sentence.
