The classic "Titanic" pose: "I'm the king of the world!" That's *dumipa*. It's also what you do when someone's measuring your arm span, or when you're trying to stop people from passing through a narrow hallway. It's the human version of spreading your wings.
From root word "dipa" (the length of outstretched arms, a fathom).
"Dipa" as a noun is a unit of measurement.
