Just got this at work


Jan 26, 2021, 11:17 AM

Thumbs Up: Means approval in  most areas but is an insult in  the Middle East and West Africa, equivalent to the middle  ?nger here. 

OK sign: Considered a rude  gesture in Brazil. Recently, it  has been linked with white  supremacy groups in the US. 

V or peace sign: Refers to  peace or victory in the US, but  the V sign with palm inwards is  considered an obscene gesture  in several other places, like  Australia, New Zealand, and  South Africa. 

Horn ?ngers: Used by rockers  or the Texas Longhorns.  In  some European and South  American countries, it’s a gesture mocking husbands whose  wives are unfaithful. 


Fingers crossed: Signi?es  you’re hoping for good luck in  most places, but in Vietnam it’s  an obscene gesture

I just missed the afro trend as a kid by a few years


Jan 26, 2021, 11:29 AM

At 44yo I'm still waiting on them to come back into style.

Sadly, my gray hair is coming in thin, so I probably couldn't pull it off now anyway. I so regret not growing one, and not growing a beard. Should have done both my senior year at Clemson like everyone else.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov

Some white supremacists have also been known to wear


Jan 26, 2021, 11:49 AM

sunglasses. We need to have the difficult discussion about the complexities of sunglass symbology now.

They should stop. Sunglasses are for folks

who need to hide hate and disdain for pretty much all people, not just ones who don't look like them.

My Spanish teacher in college told us the ok sign


Jan 26, 2021, 11:35 AM

was obscene - I thought he said Mexico, but a long time ago lol - meaning as follows: Kiss my a** hole - the hole being the connection made between the fore finger and the thumb. I have used it when I wanted to be obscene but the other person had no idea - still feels good man.
