What does this hand gesture mean?

    I've come across this hand gesture a lot in people's profile photos, primarily women it seems. It's where they're pointing at their nose with their thumb and their little finger pointing at the air. Anyone else see this? Anyone care to explain what in the heck it means?

    You need to stop stalking women's profile pics.

    But seriously, no I've never seen that before.

    They're pregnant. Either that or holding an invisible Chinese Teacup.

    They think it's the new 'sexy' thing to do, accompanied by a very exaggerated 'duck lip' pout that looks like they injected 10 times the recommended dose of collagen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 532 ✭✭✭ItAintMeBabe


    All the eejits on Geordie shore do it, so the young uns' have started to follow suit..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 832 ✭✭✭funkyouup


    Think its from austin powers, the midget does it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭caste_in_exile


    Actually, noticed that pout in the friends box of my nephews profile. We are entering a new era of ditz

    actually those girls were no more than 11.. all big hair n crazy amount of lip gloss. Best bj lips competition, seemingly I find such trashiness, from kids in particular quite intimidating.

    Geordie shore as far as I know....

    Should have said, I think its means youre lying.

    Like if you said I wont drink tonight, then did this hand gesture, it means youre going to get locked.

    I dont know...

    I think ts just a fashion thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,765 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    It's a sign to show that the female is indeed, in heat, and is ready for a 'donation' from a healthy donor.

    This is why they post these pics on facebook, to reach a boarder audience thus enhancing the chance of a suitable donor.

    Preferably some half wit douchebag that thinks he's the **** but is really just some annoying asshole that will succumb to nothing more than spending his thursday morning queing at his local post office.

    Of course he mates with the in heat female and they produce a mini version of this asshole 9 months later and the cycle continues...



    In all honesty, I have no idea what it means or symbolises, it's just some young ones locked on half a naggin!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭caste_in_exile


    Is the thumb, symbolizing a dìck so close to the mouthe. And the general signage a "call me"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Its the Hmmmmmmmmmm Geordie Shore thing and its as annoying as fck. People go into the club and literally have their hands permanently placed like this for the whole night cue hilarious laughter. You'll often see 'the lads' encouraging some girl their chatting to u to do the pose for the club pictures, cue mass hysteria. What's wrong with a good old fashioned peace or bloods sign?

    No....

    what i said before is right and youre wrong, very wrong...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 543 ✭✭✭Godsentme


    Its a hand sign for making a phone call, only they got it fuked up..

    Try swiveling the thumb around to yer ear and you'll see what i mean:D

    You're wrong.

    11 years is what I witnessed on the nephews fb 11...

    and looking like the startled mugshot of a prostitute; caught on the game and of course they're all at it...

    the pose, that is.

    It looks like a person that punched themselves in the nose while giving a rock gesture. So it's fashionable to look like you've the hand-to-eye co-ordination of a sponge?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭Sar_Bear


    I have no idea what it means but I fúcking hate it with a passion, along with anyone that does it. And I've actually seen more lads than girls doin it. Idiots, the lot of them.

    Really? Oh how I hope it does mean something to do with giving blowjobs. They have no idea what they're unwittingly saying then. Brilliant!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 734 ✭✭✭Tom_Cruise


    They have a antenna built into there hand and they are trying to tune it into joe duffy show derp

    I remember one day seeing a guy put pictures on his facebook of him and all his friends doing it, was the first time I saw it and they looked like twats. Now every fella on facebook seems to be doing it. I love you're idea, I think I'll tell them that and iy might stop them..

    I've only ever seen in on geordie shore!

    Didn't realise it was a big thing.

    I'm going to start doing it purely to annoy people


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,901 ✭✭✭Mince Pie


    Has anyone got pictorial evidence? And what the hell is Geordie Shore?

    It means your lying or being sarcastic like calling a fat chick good looking you would accompany this with the gesture


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭Gypsy Roman


    Yes its a Geordie Shore thing,its basicly the new way of saying something and then saying your really taking the piss. The same way people used to say NOT after something. So I might say Shamrock Rovers are my favourite club in the world NOT!!!,but now people put there thumbs to their nose and point there little finger out words. If I am ever in anyones company who does that I will punch them square in the face and that is not a lie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    It's so idiotic.

    It's hilarious when I go on to my 13/14 year old cousins' facebook pages. They and all their mates have near identical profile photos, in terms of angles, poses, everything. I don't recall my generation ever striving for homogeneity in the way that this new one is.

    dey be talkin some stank alright... no need for the gesture all too easy to fall back on that excuse


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭JamieK


    It's a Geordie Shore thing alright! Almost sure it's meant to symbolize an extended nose like Pinnochio (sp?) so like...whoever does it is obviously lying! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭jd007


    Geordie fucking shore..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    I would guess it means 'I been drinking' or 'I been drunk'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    Sounds like its just an identification signal for being an insufferable twat.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,461 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    Yeah it means they've just told a lie..

    Long nose - Pinnochio


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,052 ✭✭✭Wossack


    "Ive swallowed a length of cock this long - beat that"

    kinda a high score thing

    Normally accompanied with the pouty trout face and wide eyes. Perhaps it indicates that someone has just inserted a particularly rough object up their bottom?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 560 ✭✭✭andrew241983


    i think its supposed to be a loose take on pinocchio.. like if you say to someone "that shirt looks nice" and then do that sign its coz ur lying and your nose is growing.....thats what originally was i dont get what doing it in pictures is!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,612 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    it means you're pretty up for anything in an LA prison!
