@mel: we don't have exclusive mean signs in Mexico

About the miniature (yeah the word exists) I thought you caught Venancio's toy mania.

thanatos your hand is chupi

never do the following to a greek though

Was that supposed to say "talk to the hand, because I'm not listening"?

this is the second most popular function of the search button, the first being plain simple e-stalking. it's the latest trend of three years ago.

Don't make me bump another old thread! *shakes fist*

@hitori: Since we have a thread already for this kind of horse puke, dare to light-treat me about the finger-sign in ye avatar?

 

[Hitori]

those are two of Zeanra's hands, two of mine, and one of Rusty's
mine are the ones in the left

 

[Rusty]

My hand is at the bottom (so to speak) since I was judged to be the only one tall enough to get a decent angle for the picture.

No, actually i saw in a documentary that it's supposed to be the gesture of throwing shit on someone's face.

why is that? is it something they randomly do, or what?

@Siren: They do that---^ ... alot.

[Siren]

@Kov: trust me, it can't be the same. i've never seen a foreigner in my life who can do the greek thing. and it's been reported that foreigners can't even do it after being extensively taught how to. they're just not insulting enough.

 

[Kovenant84]

@Siren: Ah, ok I guess in a still picture it looks similar enough. But I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that American's can't be insulting enough

~kov.

 

[Siren]

It's much more than what you see in the still picture. It's the whole movement of the hand till it reaches that position. And the fingers have to be open like in Mel's pic. And it often is accompanied by a grunt or word(s).

I guess in order to be insulting enough, you also have to be passionate enough.

I have felt Mel's insult with her hand gesture via the internet. I will cry and write a poem about my sadness.
