These include: - Gravity - such chinposers furrow their brows and grasp their chins between thumb and forefinger, as if holding the front of their heads might in some way alleviate the situation mapped out before them - Astonishment - part surprise, part incredulity causes the movement of hand to chin - Wry disappointment - witnessed frequently when taking one's car in for a service, only to leave wondering whether one could really have been so stupid in the past. Requires gentle head shaking - Impossibility - the only reason to hold the chin is because there is no other action left in what has become a disappearing spiral of pointlessness - Whimsical elitism - the Derren Brown effect, or affectation results in a quick chin-clasp to indicate how very, very insignificant everyone else is - Deep thought - when the chin support becomes a necessary element of a posture involving reduction of blood supply to all body parts apart from the brain, which suddenly becomes inordinately heavy. I'm sure more will become clear as the chinerati sample size grows. Seems to me that there are personality types emerging, based on people’s interpretation of what holding a chin is all about.
