What's the translation of "cocking a snook" in French?

    "pied de nez" seems to be translation. But it's not an often used expression in France. At least, not to describe the gesture (it has become a little obsolete), but more to describe a mockery in general (keeping why the gesture was used, and taking only its signification)

L'expression "cocking a snook" se traduirait en français par un "pied de nez". Elle n'est plus très utilisée de nos jours, mais elle désigne toujours le même geste : un pied de nez

C'est un geste assez moqueur, principalement utilisé par les enfants.
