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

    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.

    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.

    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! :)

    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?

    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?

    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!!!!

    I believe it's a variant of the horse racing 'tic tac' signal 2/1 or 'bottle', meaning, for every two bottles of garishly coloured exceptionally strong alcohol I drink, I'll drink another one.
    For more information consult the Justin Bieber of horse-racing punditry, John McCririck.

    Ok thats it, enough is enough, I finally give up and concede, society has reached its tipping point, I do hope the Mayans are right and we are wiped out on December 21st, Id happily let the next civilisation have a go at getting it right

    I know what you mean OP.

    It's the dreaded Geordie Shore hand sign for getting plastered.

    A good culling of society is well in order soon I say ....

    I am in my mid thirties. Do you think I would be considered "cool" if I started doing this?

    You can try, but I'm pretty sure you'd just be considered the weird old guy trying to be "down with the kids"

    I just googled 'Geordie Shore' to see what it was all about and got bored reading the first three sentences of explanation.

    A load of ****ing shite probably.
