The real meaning of this :rock:

[Karina]

when you put your fingers like that, it means you're "driving evil away"
Interesting, huh?
So how it has becomed the meaning of 'rock', and why?
I hope this could start somekind of discussion...

 

[xenophobe]

I really wouldn't know. Hi you two.... you ever decide to tell anyone how old you both are?

 

[Jax]

I have no idea either..

 

[mourningstar]

what about "i'm the real evil here, the other one(s) would better go away"?

No idea, but thank you for letting me realize that that smiley has a hand. I always thought it as a giant finger rocking the smiley...

 

[mourningstar]

@voice of god: thank you for your smiley-interpretation

In a movie called "The Decline Of Western Civilization, Part II", some narroe-minded girl says that the sign is made with three 6 (look for them and you'll find them), and also means the denial of Christ or some shit like that... she also says that Ozzy is the devil's messenger........

I had always been led to believe and thought that this sign was meant to represent the devil.

It's a rudimentry form of the devil's horns. Since rock and roll and, more over, heavy metal is often seen as "the devil's music", it's a highly appropriate sign to make.
Regardless of what the sign's origins maybe, it's now used to say "rock".

It is, if you keep your thumb out of the fist. Index finger is supposed to represent I, index+thumb = L, and index+little finger = U, so the sign is ILU = I love you.... I read this from some christian site where it was told as an explanation to why some gospel singer shows the sign on her gigs.

 

[mourningstar]

i can already imagine the pope, on his balcony, looking above and doing that sign

 

[Aida_Melodica]

for me stands for one thing and one thing alone...

MMMMMEEEEETTTTTAAAAALLLLL!!!!!

It's sign language (and it's actually I, L, and Y)..
