Help, fight constantly
asthehind:
It's a result of their personality - other sims tend to tap their foreheads, others (the most outgoing) point their fingers at other sims and the fist-pounding seems to be done by sims with few nice points.
ZephyrZodiac:
It's like the hand-clapping for active sims, but I think Lilith and Angela do the fist-pounding because they're each thinking about attacking the other twin (in other words, it's related to fighting!). In fact, if you leave them to do their own thing, that's generally what happens!
Doc Doofus:
Well, yes, in the first few days of playing the Pleasant family. I had them make friends, grow up, move out, marry their respective boyfriends, but they still do the snap-pounding thing when they are pacing idly.
A good way to see this -- invite them to a house and then don't greet them. They will pace up and down doing the snap-pound thing until you greet them or they lose patience and leave.
ZephyrZodiac:
Most sims will do that if you don't greet them. They get low on social and cantankerous - and when you have the welcome wagon, it must be very frustrating to them not to be able to talk to the other visitors until you have your sim greet them. I use the teleport thingy from Valdea.com now (part of the Workers' set, which you can remove and just leave the teleporter in) and it's default setting is to autogreet (although you can disable that if you want).
I think it's a nervous fist-pounding action, unrelated to the one where they are planning an attack......

That's an animation active Sims use all the time, it's in no way specific to Lilith and Angela. Mean Sims scowl, outgoing Sims do the finger-pointing thing, shy Sims wring their hands, serious Sims talk to themselves, and super nice Sims do this:
