It reminds me of 'chicken feet' I can make on my fingers with string. :)

Excuse me if I am skeptical of this magical finger feat... maybe you could provide a picture as evidence of your stringy skill. Don't mean to wrangle, but show me a tangle!

Of course! I found a picture on the net. They call it crow's feet. My grandmother, who taught me, called it chicken's feet:

Wow, those are pretty cool. I'd like to learn some of them for party tricks.
