Val. «La figa li fa palmes»
This comment is said to remark that a girl or a woman is getting aroused. It is especially used when somebody notices that a woman feels attracted to a guy (or a girl). This can be deduced from her behaviour or from a gossip.
Aquest comentari se sol fer quan hom nota que una xica se sent atreta per algú, que algú la posa calenta. Açò es pot deduir pel seu comportament, pel xafardeig que ens ha contat un altri, etcètera.

Linguistic clarifications:
1) Remember that the word ‘fig’ in Catalan is synonym for ‘cunt’ (woman vagina). Obviously, a vagina doesn’t have any ‘hands’ to clap with, but still, for sure you can guess the metaphor of a vagina applauding.

2) Even though nowadays the word ‘palmell’ and the expression ‘picar de mans’ is preferred to mean ‘clap one’s hands’, the archaic word ‘palma’ is still widely used in Valencian, as well as set-phrases like ‘tocar les palmes’ o ‘batre les palmes’.
