Which means with a little work she can be giving them the “sod off” sign which is even NASTIER than the bird because it’s up the butt.
[just a wee, little hijack] When someone blows by me at a high rate of speed (like I’m ever doing anything slower than 10k over the limit), I just yell “Buh-bye” at them. It gives me a chuckle, and I don’t think I’ll get my head blown off for it. [/wee, little hijack]
On the University of Georgia campus, the School of Education has its own parking lot specifically gated for professors. At 4:30, however, the gates come up, and anyone can park there.
If you want to get a parking space, being one of the first ones through the gate is of the essence, but you can’t line up in the street, so the practice is to line up first come first serve in a single file line in the lot across the street (where we can’t park, but we can wait). Inevitably, however, some moron comes along and plops herself (in her car) right at the gate. Not only does she think she’s the first one there at 4:15 (even though some of us have been waiting since 4:00 or before) :rolleyes: , but she doesn’t seem to care that she’s blocking the way for a full fifteen minutes for actual professors who want to enter.
And no offense to any elementary teachers, but it’s always an elementary ed. student. ALWAYS. You can tell by the ribbon around her pony tail and the lacquered lipstick.
What do I do? Well, what did I used to do? I’d just wait for the first professor to come along and curse her out, and then point to all of us who had been waiting and watching just across the street. It’s so fun to watch her have to back her ass up and get in the end of the line. One time, however, no one pulled up behind her, and the offending girl just sat there 'til the gate came up. Since I was the first person in line, I followed her to her car and informed her that as an administrator in the building, if I ever saw her block the entrance again, I would report her to the dean. She was so stupid, she actually believed me. Hell, UGA is huge. I don’t even know who the fucking dean was. Or if we even had one.
Too funny…oh man…(gasp)…
I think I just woke everyone in the house up!
I would just like to share a story about how my mom flips the bird. Or how she managed to the other day. Some idiot driver made a stupid pass, nearly running head first into the family vehical. My mom gasped, and grabbed dad’s shoulder, ensuring that he would jerk around a bit, therefore keeping us out of danger. When the guy got over to the other lane, my mom leaned over, and rasied a defiant fisst, reading to give him a heart ‘fuck you’!
She gave him an enthusiastic thumbs up.
Later, she managed to tell us over our laughter that she forgot how to flip someone off.
We are never going to let her forgot that one.
[sub]She forgot! She bloody well forgot! How do you forgot how to flip someone off?[/sub]
foxfiregrrl’s post reminds me of George Bush Snr’s presidential visit to Australia a decade ago. He gave the a triumphant and hearty “peace” sign with his right hand, 'cept he did it palm-inward instead of palm-outward, so (at least here in Australia) it became a triumphant and hearty FUCK YOU! A surreal moment - the world’s most powerful politician not only telling an entire nation to basically sod off, but to be smiling and nodding politely as he did it.
I’ve always preferred “That looks like a penis, only smaller.”
I’ve been practicing for about 10 minutes, trying to avoid giving the “wussy” finger, and I don’t think I can do it. Is there a trick to it, or is it all in the shape and/or strength of your fingers?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, since when did the big bird salute become the wussy finger? Judas Priest, leave the US of A for 15 years, and look what happens??? Let’s just clarify though. You mean flipping the bird with the bird finger sticking waaaaaay up there, and the otherfingers held down by the thumb (in other words, you, the flipee, see no knuckle)???
It helps if you have really long fingers, then it becomes this big ol honkin flagpole of a bird. The knuckle bird always seemed, well, okay, wussy to me.
Seriously, inquiring minds want to know, which is the power bird these days?
Geez, do I have to tell you folks everything?
a) place the open palm of your left hand across your right elbow crook
b) holding your right palm facing towards you, hoist your right arm as if you were doing curls, but rapidly, coming to an abrupt halt when it hits the vertical
c) as your right forearm moves, curl all of your fingers except the middle one down as far as they will go; the middle finger, you extend.
