Pointing With Your Lips

As one Creek woman from Green Country, Oklahoma put it, “We don’t point with our fingers or hands. I think that it is not just rude, but also because some people use their hands for medicine, and so it creeps people out. It’s rude to make people feel like you might be doing something when you are not. It’s also bad to touch people you aren't close to unless you are shaking hands at certain times. Even then, many people are still uncomfortable about that...no touching and no pointing...may be someone puttin’ their bad on you”. - excerpt from Pointing With Our Lips by Corina Roberts

Seems it might be a thing with Hispanics and Filipinos as well. Via Post Hip Scott.
