Quick question on the "Rock on" hand sign

Post by RadicalDreamer » Fri Oct 10, 2003 1:30 am

What the hell is it?! Is it the pinkie and index finger up, or does the thumb go up, too? I thought it was the thumb out, but now I'm just scared and confused...

Pointless fact about Spain, we weren't to make the sign and keep the thumb in, it is really offensive supposedly.

So, yeah, pointless.

Hold your two middle fingers into your hand with your thumb. Usually works. I think it's kinda lost its meaning now, but a really really old rock guy used it at one of his gigs and it caught on...now it's about as common as most of these throwaway Punk Bands :roll:

Isn't this gesture something to do with warding off the 'evil eye' (awooooo!)

Thumb out. The fingers form 3 times a six (666) that way. 6 <-round part is fist, long part is finger or thumb or pinky. 's what i heard anyway.

Gene Simmons Started it.

And now like the genre punk and all talent in pop music is gone forever, bought in, used up, and sold out.

Thumb holding two fingers down because the sign with the thumb out actually means I love you in sign language :)

One thing though, I ;ove you is donw with the palm facing away from you while rock on is done with the plam towards you. Therefore even with the thumb out, it is a completely diffrent sign, as long as you have the palm direction correct of course....
