Rude Hand Gestures of the World: A Guide to Offending without Words


Chin Flick

Meaning: Get lost
Used in: Belgium, France, Northern Italy, Tunisia

In France, this gesture is known as la barbe,



Five fathers

Meaning: You have five fathers, i.e., your mother is a whore
Used in: Arab countries, Caribbean

If you are looking to get yourself deported from Saudi Arabia – possibly amid a riot – you can do no better than the Five Fathers gesture.


MANY MORE WAYS TO INSULT PEOPLE....LOL

3. It took a second glance;
To figure out why the second picture's gesture was an insult. A clever take on the old coitus gesture.

9. One more I expected to see
goes like the American "OK" gesture except the thumb-forefinger circle is pointed at the person you mean to offend. It means "you're an asshole!" and it's just as likely to get your teeth rearranged :)

11. Correction on Chin Flick
It is not common in northern Italy. It is definitely more common in southern Italy. In northern Italy, we place our hand in the crook of the opposite arm and raise that hand upwards and say vaffanculo
