Crossing the arms is a sign of a few things . One being intimidation another anxiety .

Sometimes its a relaxed posture used to express that the person is calm ( use obviously when the person is at home watching tv with feet up )

this is usually a defensive mode however used to defend the body and make the target smaller for potential attackers.

I have observed many times people spontaniously crossing their arms when they feel threatened suddenly or become uncomfortable in a daunting situation.

My answer would be , defence / self comfort / protection of ones self and the bodys way of saying i dont want to know .

Honest opinion, hope this helps ;)

What does the idiom to cross your arms or your legs mean?

Crossing your arms or legs means putting one in front of the other. When you cross your legs, you're usually sitting down, and you either lift one leg and put it atop (over) the other one, or you just put the ankle or calf of one leg on top of the other thigh. You only do this if you're wearing pants, by the way! Crossing your arms can mean any way that you put one arm in front of the other, but people usually mean the position where your arms are pulled horizontally in front of your chest with your hands tucked against your forearms.
