* One case of this in real life: bouncers outside of clubs. They fold their arms in front of them to make their arms look bigger and look more threatening. Similar groups, such as security guards tend to do the same.

Note that crossing arms below the ribcage speaks a whole other body language, and involves bringing shoulders forward defensively. This tends to denote sulkiness or defensiveness. To cross arms over chest, one must spread shoulders back, which juts out the chest and straightens the spine, making the figure stand slightly taller, and raises the chin. Each of these elements alone convey confidence, the total posture sums them up to a BadassArmFold.

One of the few ways to indicate that you are a {{Badass}} or at least hellishly ambitious. {{Badass}}es tends to fold their arms in front of them.
