question: i have good stickers on my car. twice i have had young male
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 10:54 PM by seabeyond
give me a hand sign, and it wasnt middle finger up. one was hanging out the window so annnnngry and had two middle fingers down all the others up. a longhorn sign with thumb out. i had another young guy, teenager, do it again today. saw him out of my rearview mirror. was telling son, that is longhorn sign he said. i am sayin, cant see why i would get that sign.

is there a new hand sign from younger generation i dont know about.

two middle fingers down, thumb and other two fingers extended out.

for clarification: stickers are obama, coexist, peace sign, hatred is not a family value, we the people not we the corporation and some others. i live in amarillo texas. really red

29. i was never "hip" in that way. i dunno.... lol. i have a hard time believing these
two guys in anway were saying soemthing positive to me about my stickers. lol. one seemed very angry and another didnt want to look, but kept turning head to posters like he was drawn. and shaking his head in a negative. saw me looking at him in rearview and flashed the clear hand sign. when i see a liberal sticker, i have huge smile, hapy energy and thumbs up to person.

9. I was fixing to post the "I Love You" one...
The pinkie finger is the 'I', the outside of the index finger & thumb form the 'L' and the inside of the index finger, across the 'valley' of the middle & ring finger and up the side of the pinkie forms the 'U'...

In some gangs though, if the index & pinkie finger are pointed down toward the ground, it means 'fuck you'...

21. I gave up on trying to figure out what children's language and signs mean. In the end, it's not

worth the effort.

22. Geez, I guess blowing kisses is "Old school"
Fuck, I hate getting old! On the other hand, I'm really glad that I no longer give a fuck what anybody thinks about me. One of the joys of oldness!

25. I'm learning something here!
I was all set to say "that's 'I love you' in sign language"; it's news to me that it could be a gang sign! Guess I'd better quit waving it at my kids! :)

30. That's ASL for I Love You.
One of the few signs I know because I flash it to my kids all the time, save s them embarrassment of dad yelling I Love You.
