Three fingers mean "W"

[bucephalus]

I know what one finger means, I know two fingers mean, now I know what three fingers mean -what about four and five?

[Mamzelle]

Five mean *hello*, goodbye, or as my teen put it -- "Talk to the hand."

[longfellow]

Actually these traitors should only have 1 finger up cause thats what they really feel about America. I'm taking the fight to them! By tuesday there will be a billboard outside of Quantico to show the boys our support. I wish I knew how to post the picture of it. If you go to ultimateamerican.com look under t-shirts and see the hollywood one it will give you a good idea. also if anyone knows how to post it on this thread be my guest.

What the hell does "talk to the hand" mean? Lived overseas long time, out of touch.

[wita]

In the UK, two fingers reveresed (as in the opposite of V for victory) means the same as one finger in the US. Five fingers is a salutation either wave or salute. Four fingers could stand for W is # 1.

Imagine someone holding out their hand in your face like a traffic cop, only they are looking away from you disrespectfully. The gesture translates as "don't talk to me, I don't want to hear it, talk to the hand."

I say take it back, subract one finger, and reverse it. To hell with peace. Today it's time for war.

When it was pulled on me for the first time, I laughed and laughed. I began the lecture, and he put up his "stop" sign , exaggerated a shrug, and murmured, "Talk to the hand." Dismissal. Keep 'em busy talking to something that can't listen.

V

[bucephalus]

Oh, I do know that. I guess the global media is keeping me in touch. Thank you.

2 fingers? simple, a roman ordering 5 beers.

Sheesh - this conversation is just to digital for my stomach this early.

[longfellow]

THANKS MAC! now tell me where to send the free merchandise to!

[WaterDragon]

Great idea! I hate it when we let the Lefties steal valuable symbols from us.

V for Victory it is! \/

And W for the president! \/\/

[mollynme]

Actually - I have been telling "peaceniks" what their symbol means for quite some time now. Whenever someone flashes it at me I say "RIGHT - VICTORY!!!"(LOL)

[cowtowney]

"Talk to the hand" - Teenagers put up their hand at you and this translates to "Talk to the hand cause the ears ain't listening" You can talk to their hand all you want but they don't want to hear what you have to say.

[Eala]

what about four and five?

Four more years?
