at 52 i just dont get the latest "in the hood" hand signal. and i aint about to use it either. but a couple i do know make a lot of sense. lets start with the middle finger only. it says it all, and the clenched fist. i can think of at least five different meanings. thumbs up, well, good job, we did it. the index finger pointed right at you. accusation, way to go, you did it, a lot of different meanings. someone please tell me why guys now act like they are in the hood with the latest, not understood hand gesture. and its somehow invaded the fishing world. is the only thing missing in that hand pose a small caliber handgun that they couldnt get their hands on? fill me in.
its the hood thing, but by asking......im a hater, a douche, and whatever else. i would think if you do something......you gotta at least know what it means. perhaps im too old. i still dont know what it means but hey LMFAOIFOEETIDC! figure that out.
The "shaka" sign is a common greeting in beach and surfer culture.The "shaka" sign is a common greeting gesture often associated with Hawaii, California, and beach and surfer culture in general. It consists of extending the thumb and little finger while keeping the three middle fingers curled, and is often described colloquially as the "hang loose"or "chilax" gesture. It is similar to American Sign Language letter "Y", where a fist is also made with only the thumb and little finger extended. The sign is often followed by waving as a greeting or acknowledgment. It can be used when driving as a signal of thanks to other drivers (for example, someone who stopped to let another driver onto the road from a driveway).
The "shaka" sign is also the greeting gesture for members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. which is the "phi" sign. All African-American Greek fraternities and sororities have hand greeting gestures
