Yesterday I was walking in New York's Chinatown when I saw an Italian fellow gesturing madly while he was talking on his cellphone. I wondered Why? No one on the other end could see the gestures. So here are 13 hand gestures I see all the time:
how could I have forgotten - am I an idiot...
good job - go - good-to-go - lift-off - fantastic - keep it up!
NG, kill the Christians, The Opposite of #2
OK, perfetto, great, mucho gusto.
A-OK, absolutely perfect.
So you have my money or do I have to call Tony Bagodonuts?
Ummmmm that is a good toke. A gesture says a thousand words: Tommy Chong during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
This gesture is a bit controversial. The Texas Longhorns ‘Lock’Em” sign is given with the palms facing the signer, and usually with both hands together. With the horned hand, the palms face away. Some claim, including, the late Pope John Paul, that Bush is the Antichrist. Bush gave the horned hand gesture during his inauguration.
Call me with your thumb-and-pinky phone. Why I didn't call you with my phone to tell you this - I don't know.
Scuzzi, did I just smash your face with my cleats? Sorry - Hey WTF?
we're number 1.
Figa - Profane symbol - screw you, go to hell, cuckold!
And finally, another variation of #12:
I'd be happy to negotiate about Nuclear Weapons with liberal idiots.
