What to say when your not saying it....

I was inspired for this article on the basis of how we construct reality. Everything has a meaning but who says that those meanings are supposed to be true? Here's some gestures that I found to be quite interesting.....


So never in my life would I believe that Hannah Montana would grace my blog. Whatevs, it happens! Like all the rest of them trendy tween heads saying they come in peace, the infamous V-sign, popularized by Winston Churchill, is actually the Yin to our next symbol's yang.


When you switch the V sign around you get a simple "fuck You" from the British. This next one actually makes sense considering my dad always ended up yelling at someone who did this to him.
So this gesture is only meant to be done to dogs in the Philippines. Do it to a person, and you've compared them to an animal you have to pick poop after.
No, the late President Corazon Aquino is not calling you a loser. This is the "Laban" or "fight" gesture used during the revolution to oust Marcos out of the Philippines. In America, it simply means:Yes....the best show ever. and you thought I meant "loser." A backwards V sign to you as my other hand tells you to come here.

Symbols, meanings, and reality are never universal. They are constantly created and changing. Here's some more if your interested.
