Не соглашусь. Вот определение: click one's fingers: to pull or push one's fingers so that they make a cracking noise. А вот "щелкать пальцами" будет "snap one's fingers".
нуу это все же скорее так же неоднозначно, как "щелкать пальцами" именно. т.е. определяется контекстом наверное. но если так действительно говорят носители, я спорить-то не буду само собой. мне оно не то чтобы каждый день прямо попадалось, чтоб я могла зубом ответить :) просто кроме Wiktionary, процитированного выше, я его нашла только в связке со snap как синоним. но я и не пингвин, опять же.
да не, я изи бризи абсолютно. что мое-то так или иначе можно, я вроде как предполагала изначально, иначе б и не лезла с ним :) меня интересует теперь уже click.
Вы абсолютно правы про cracking. хрустеть пальцами = to crack one's knuckles
-- KNUCKLE CRACKING Cracking your knuckles is the same as scraping your fingernails across a blackboard. It sends shivers down the spine. Therefore, it's to be done only when you're alone or in the company of like-minded individuals.

Посмотрите ниже, вы действительно считаете, что официантов подзывают щелканьем суставов?
Google Books:
Appu clicked his fingers for the waiter. .. Cory clicked his fingers, and a white-jacketed waiter did an impression of a lone ballroom dancer as he slithered and feinted his way.. ... The sweat came out on his nose but he stayed on his feet. After he'd got out of bed, that was. Stood bolt upright, swallowed it, clicked his fingers, ordered another piece of blackcurrant pie. ... Sotir clicked his fingers for coffee to be brought and asked her if she would like some brandy too. ... "White wine." He clicked his fingers for the waiter, who hurried over.
Не поленилась, попробовала поискать Ваши ссылки. Не нашла. Но судя по именам - Appu, Sotir - вы цитируете какие-то индийский книги. А там английский специфический. Хотите верьте, хотите нет, - но именно в таком значении, как я написала выше, эту фразу употребляют тут, в Англии. :)
well, some of those further down the line were actually relevant, i checked. but, unlike the other one, it is entirely context-dependent. and generally less popular if google hits are anything to go by.
:) it could also be british, for all we know. i can't be the judge of that, because, let's face it, 'fit birds' are more of my strong suit (no double entendre intended... almost).
Неленность всегда хороша, но все ссылки находятся мгновенно, ниже приведены источники. Только не надо мне рассказывать про индийскую прозу, например, Sotir упоминается в книге Susan Barrett.

А как насчет "click my toes"? Вряд ли щелкать. А вот хрустеть да.
