cross your legs

The Spanish phrase 'cruzar las piernas' is a command in English that means 'cross your legs'. It is an instruction often given in contexts such as physical wellness classes like yoga or general etiquette. In addition to its literal meaning, the phrase can also colloquially imply the act of waiting patiently or with decorum. Note that 'cruzar' means 'to cross' and 'piernas' means 'legs' in English. Therefore, the literal translation is 'cross the legs'. In Spanish, the whole phrase is more often used, particularly in a formal context.
