TT 13 Hand Gestures
By Bernie on 19 Oct 2006:
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.

- Hah! Loved your TT! My first TT is up! :)
- Those are great, I love them all!! Our T13 is up as well ;).
- Great post. Creative idea! Mine's up too.
- Just don't use #4 around people from Germany, the symbol means "asshole" in their culture.
- Great list, Bernie! I especially like the Longhorns gesture! Thanks for the Turban Tip, too!
- That reminds me of an old joke... An Italian prisoner of war is being interrogated by a Nazi (a real one, not a Bush one). After beating with a rubber hose and burning with a cigarette, etc., the Italian won't talk and the Nazi is near exhaustion. The Nazi says: "So you von't talk, eh?" And the Italian replies, "I wanna talk, but you agotta untie my hands!!!" D. Ox
- Bernie, I'll send a ping as soon as the servers 'calm down'...
- What a creative list! Happy TT!
- You know - I enjoyed this for the creativity. I had to laugh at the last one, though... in our family, that means "I got your nose!"
- lol Bernie...whats the gesture for the Jewish old man.."NU, what can you do?"?..lol :)
