In Colombia, when you put together all your fingertips it is often used when you're saying that a place was really crowded, makes sense?

Hola Ana Maria. Quisiera saber si ustedes tienen el gesto del dedo medio en Colombia? ¿Significa lo mismo en Colombia que in the U.S.? Esto es, o era muy común en los EE.UU. Me pregunto en qué países es usado el dedo medio como gesto y si significa igual que in the U.S.? Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; October 11, 2013 at 05:48 PM. Reason: Removed broken links |

Well Ana Maria, apparently you don't use el gesto del dedo medio, entonces. I put two fotos para que veas el gesto. In the U.S. esto es un insulto el mas maximo practicamente. Es un gesto que puede causar una pelea. Quote:
Jajajajajajajajaja... Te quiero! Que gracioso! Asi que si se usa en Colombia? Es ridiculo, really. Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; October 11, 2013 at 05:49 PM. Reason: Merged back-to-back posts |

He oído este gesto se llama "la higa" en España, ¿no?
En alemania el gesto es una ofensa. I don't know how to say the rest in Spanish so I need to switch to English. This offence, in Germany, fulfills the statement of face for offences in §185 StGB (StGB = crimincal code). If you do this to a policeman, you probably will be charged. In road traffic you can get charged to, car drivers from Germany can get 5-7 "points in Flensburg" (kind of penalty points, if you reach a specific amount you won't see your license for a month or two, maybe long / forever. depends). In England a similar gesture is an offence. I don't if middle finger is combined with the index or ring finger to do this. But to make it an offence the back of the hand should be shown to the person you do this gesture to. In some countries the "reversed victory sign" is an offence, too. Like in England or other English speaking countries. You need the back of your hand to be turned to the other person. This gestures leads to complications when people on vacation order e.g. two beer with this gesture. This gestures comes from North Korea or better say from crew members who were imprisoned in North Korea and were said to be defected. The sign should countermine this "fact". |

What a coincidence. I was just about to post when I searched and came across this thread. Friends of mine from San Luís Potosí told me the gesture is made with the hand rotated palm-side up, three fingers curled tightly inward against the palm and the index finger extended and partially curled so as to point itself upward. The hand is then lifted or lowered to indicate the height. They said it's used only for referring to people (apparently, whether old or young), while the usual palm-down gesture is for indicating the height of inanimate objects. Interesting, eh?
