What does We Don’t Do That Here mean?

Also called Black Panther Stop · T’Challa Stops Bruce Banner · Wakanda Bowing

T’Challa raises a hand to stop an unnecessary bow. Use the reaction to politely reject a habit that does not belong in your group.

The raised palm is firm without being furious. It works for a local rule, a shared preference, or a gentle correction when someone brings the wrong custom into a setting.

The recognizable response can reject anything from spoilers to work messages during a break. State the unwanted behavior, then let T’Challa set the boundary.

Origin

Bruce Banner bows because Rhodey told him to.

The scene comes from Avengers: Infinity War, released in the US on April 27, 2018. James Rhodes tells Bruce Banner to bow when meeting T’Challa. T’Challa stops Banner and explains that the gesture is unnecessary. [1]

A GIF of the exchange appeared on Tumblr on the film’s release date. Captioned reaction versions followed on Tumblr in May and on Reddit in June 2018. [1]
