Setja upp gestaspjot (Icelandic): A phrase denoting the action taken by a cat when cleaning itself, with its body curled tightly in a circle with one back leg sticking up directly in the air. When a cat is seen doing this it is supposed to indicate that visitors will be turning up (literally, ‘put up a guest-spear’).
