T pose
Default avatar stance
A T pose is a standing position with arms extended straight out from the sides, forming a T shape with the body.
The pose originated as a default stance for 3D character models before animation is applied.
Online, T-posing became a meme suggesting dominance or absurdity: He just stood there T-posing to assert dominance.
To T-pose is to assume this position, often ironically.
