Title: This two finger hand sign thing.
Post by: Purple Aki on December 03, 2009, 03:41:53 AM
I'm not really up to date with youth culture, so I thought I would ask some of the the Getbig members that are "down with the kids" (no, I don't mean in moosejay/pumpster kind of way)... What does the two fingers pointed horizontally hand sign mean?

Example:

Is it a hand sign for a slightly fruity street gang? I've noticed that it's done by Guido/metro types and US college chicks mostly, and is often accompanied by a slightly vacant pouty face.

I know, the youth of today have no respect for tradition.

That would be refered to as "chunking up the duece". You would usually do it when leaving a spot...I guess. If you're white you take pictures of yourself doing it with that stupid look on your face on myspace. When something like that or certain terms crossover to popular culture that usually means it's played out and only said by lames...that reminds me please...enough with the no homo cam'ron did it to death already. I've been hearing people say "peace out" which I thought died back in 91 or something.

What's a cam'ron?

I've noticed Vince Goodrum still uses the terms "wack" and "sucker mc's", are these back in popular useage?

This thread is about the two fingered hand sign, not the failure in applying the markmanship principles by certain ethnic demographics.

Oh, and Japanese chicks.

No need to apologise, you have an enquiring mind.

Perhaps you should start a thread on it. We hardly ever discuss racial issues on this board.

The Chinese always hold two fingers up like this for their pictures, especially women.

It is not the peace sign; I've asked them about it.

ironically
the average Chinese citizen makes 2 dollars per day
maybe they are happy about that and want to tell the world?

A couple of times in China random people would want to take a picture with me, I'm guessing because I'm white.

One guy, without talking to me, started rubbing my arm hair once.

Very strange.

 In the UK, and other places the peace sign with the palm facing the other person is kind of like giving them the finger. So this losers used the uk peace sign to try and  look more euro.

Uh, no hip hop has been doing this from back in the day. Since Japan is obsessed with american culture they started doing it, but the Japanese girls do it in a cutesy way.


And cam'ron is a American rapper. Jadakiss used No Homo to death a few yrs ago, it is still used occasionally by some urban New yorkers, if they say something that might miscontrued as gay, ex: "those pants are a little to tight on you, no homo", one doesn't want to give impression you were looking at another guys ass.

 Done on the streets of Chicago and you can catch a bullet flying at you or your car.

 On the Mean STREETS of The Chi it means 'Deuce Luv'.

So it is a gang sign?

I'm sure I've seen pics of Big Mal doing it and he seems a bit too Theodore Huxtable for that kind of hoodlum behaviour.
