#8  When I'm out on bike rides, sitting at a stop sign (south Dorchester / upper Milton near Blue Hills parkway) I've flashed many fake gang signs to 'low-riders' in their Honda 4-bangers with the glass-pack mufflers. Nothing but laughs between us.

#7  I picked up a book on "Guide to Travelers on Hand Gestures", sort of quick and dirty guide to things you shouldn't do when you leave your own culture. Compared to their "invisible dog whistles" there are many, many gestures that can get you killed overseas...

#6  I'm surprised the middle finger did not make the list as much as everyone gives it to them.

#5  White mittens only, natch.

Also... the "one" finger figures prominently in "monkey's bunghole tat" meme. "Two" suggests not just peace, but the pacifying scissors of castration. Yoiks! "Palm" equals paper, specifically the Constitution that enables and enforces systematic oppression. "Fist" sounds just like "kissed." "Satan hand" obviously depicts a white rabbit. It's almost like the whole world is pregnant (EEEEK!) with symbolism.

#4  Dear allies of ebony kittens,
One purchase -- it costs but a pittance! --
Will render you harmless
While working towards armless:
Please signal your virtue with mittens.
