Yokamon! Good afternoon, dear readers, today I decided to touch on a very interesting topic... Let's talk about what the gesture “Thumb and little finger protruding in different directions” means. Do you believe in sign language? How often do the movements of the hands and the formation of some shapes replace the usual vocabulary? You know what the gesture means thumb up and pinky, and when is it appropriate to use it?
Know that this gesture is not worth doing in the Caribbean? Read on, all the fun will follow.
One gesture across many continents
This strange gesture called "Shaka" is often used by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes and grappling fighters.
The gesture, when the thumb and little finger are protruding, and the rest are pressed to the palm, can be seen not only among wrestlers, and people from the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is often used today and common people, and on different continents it can be deciphered and understood in different ways. For instance,
- if we take the American system of gestures as a basis, this means the letter U,
- in China - number 6,
- and in our country, this gesture symbolizes a phone call, if a person puts his thumb to his ear,
- or an offer to take drugs if applied to the lips,
- if the hands are at the level of the abdomen, the interlocutor offers you alcohol.
According to many sources, this sign is most often used when greeting, together with it, basically, they pronounce the words "Shaka, brah!" The inhabitants of the islands, as if asking a person to relax, take their time and remember that life is beautiful and everything will always be fine. In Hawaii, this gesture is used by everyone: athletes and even politicians. Besides greeting, "Shaka" is also used to express your gratitude and if you want to say goodbye.
By the way, the "Shaka" gesture is used in the movie "Secret Soldiers of Benghazi". The picture was filmed this year. If you experience the heroism of an American soldier without criticism and can watch Hollywood show the East in films, I see no reason why you will not like Michael Bay's new film.
Putting the electronic world aside, the director shot the project much better with identical pomp, and it must be admitted that he did it very well. If there is nothing in the evening, watch this movie and write in the comments what this gesture meant in the last minutes.
Where did the gesture come from
After viewing the picture, I became curious, how did this sign end up in everyday life? Who started showing it first? Why not use the index finger instead of the little finger. According to the first two versions that I managed to find, "Shaku" is associated with an ordinary guy Kalil Hamanwho worked in Hawaii in the last century.
One day an accident happened to him, as a result he lost all fingers on his hand except the thumb and little finger. Many believe that the guy always greeted with his right hand, and people saw only two fingers. This gesture was liked by the local guys, who began to greet in the same way. After a few years, the gesture spread throughout the island, by the way, almost all locals we are sure that this version is the most truthful.
Second version
the gesture became popular after Haman got a job guarding trains carrying sugar. An accident happened to him at a previous job. He had to inspect the trains and drop the children, who were constantly trying to ride them. After inspection, the guy raised his hand, thereby showing the driver that he could move on and everything was in order.
Another version of "Shaki" is associated with
According to legend, a shark attacked a surfer, but he managed to escape, while he lost three of his fingers. The guy never stopped surfing and greeted his friends with his right hand using this very gesture.
There are sources where it is written that "Shaka" was used by labor immigrants as an offer after a hard day's work to drink a glass of beer or something stronger.
I wonder how meaningful a simple sign can be, for sure, many do not even think about what they show when they simply randomly cross two fingers. After reading the forums, I realized that our people perceive Shaku differently.
What does protruding thumb and pinky mean?
- I'm a rocker
- Goat, gore, gore.
- Sexual act. By the way, that is why I wrote earlier that it is better not to show it in the Caribbean if you do not mean intimate. If you pointed at a girl with your little finger, while the thumb will be protruding, she may take this as an insult and file you with the police for harassment.
- Hard bass dance.
- Nike trademark.
- Relax, take it easy.
- For the mercenaries, it means "Jumbo" - in other words, this is their Code.
Do you know what this or other gestures mean? Well, for example, a gesture of two fingers in the form of the letter B? Or, for example, what does the tongue gesture mean between two fingers? Share your assumptions in the comments.
Two fingers gesture in the form of the letter B
From historical articles it became known that during the Hundred Years Wars, a pair of fingers were cut off by the French, which they used to draw the bow. And those who had all their fingers in place, teased their enemies, showed "V".
Even today, this gesture is prohibited in France. And also it is not recognized by almost all of Europe and England. For example, about 7 years ago, Barry Ferguson and Alan McGregor were expelled from their football teams for showing "V".
The second meaning of this sign is "Victory". It was used during the Second World War by Winston Churchill himself. He made the "V" sign popular and in his understanding it meant victory, but in this case, the palm had to be turned with the back side to the audience. Many countries perceive this mark as a simple display of the number "2".
Goat gesture
In Russia, this gesture is called "horns", "rasping" or "corn" and everyone interprets it in their own way. In Central Europe in medieval times, it was used to protect against the evil eye (as if you had collected a gun in your pocket). This sign can be found in many books, it is even painted in paintings. The Black Sabbath frontman has made this gesture the most important in his life: now at a concert of various musical genres, he shows "Horns" as an endorsement to the group. But, there is no need to show this gesture to an Italian man or woman. In this country, he means one who has been instructed. So try not to show Heavy Metal in this country.
Do I use gestures when chatting with friends? Probably more often not than yes. We are all different, and each has his own perception of the world, I can offend someone, to someone, on the contrary, I will flirt, although I was not even going to do it. It's better to use words instead of gestures. But I am sure that at the Korn concert the “Shaka” or “Goat” gesture will be more than appropriate.
