The same sign given with the palm side facing inwards is the British "fuck you" sign. :lol:
^In Australia as well I believe.

While were at it, the "thumbs up" is the F U in Greece/Turkey/Macedonia and others in that region, or so i've been led to believe, and thus instruct others :)

I think it's the same in the Middle East. And the "OK" symbol made by touching your index finger to your thumb is the Brazilian equivalent.

I believe my psychology teacher handed out a small pamphlet about this. It certainly makes you think twice about doing any kind of hand gestures in a country you're not familiar with....Or as another teacher pointed out, standing under signs you can't read in a shady part of town while wearing a skimpy dress.

Yet the hand gesture for "jerk off" remains universally understood.

Perhaps a gesture for coitus (make a circle with index and thumb, inserting other hand's pointer into said circle) is also universal? :wink:

I think that gesture can also be used to tell a gas station attendant to "fill 'er up".

And if someone on a school bus in America looks at the OK gesture you get to punch him in the arm twice. But if he breaks that circle, you're the one who gets licks.

Yeah, our OK is thumbs up.

Touching the index finger and the thumb here sometimes means "fuck you", though giving the middle finger is more common.
