I'm making "The Shocker" hand gesture. Do you know what this looks like?

Without looking it up?

Sure I do.

Two in the pink, one in the stink.

Thanks to, of all things, the tv show “Veronica Mars” I do.

Does it count if I mainly know it from the Spocker variation?

Yes, unfortunately I do know.

Of course. The stickers of that hand sign are all over cars around here.

I believe you mean two in the goo, one in the poo. Don’t forget that the thumb has an important job as well.

Yeah, if the gesture was something along the lines of:

“Two in the slit, thumb on the clit”

I could see the appeal.

Wow, how did I come up with THAT?! :dubious:

I have absolutely no idea what any of you are talking about.

I voted “I didn’t know what it was (before today)” but actually I still don’t know what it is.

I learned about it from a discussion of this “Grand Theft Auto IV” novelty foam hand.

Me neither. In fact, even after looking up the Wikipedia article, I’m still confused. I’ve never heard of this—where the hell does it come from, and who uses it, and why, and WTF?

I think the SDMB’s age is showing.

Yes, I know, and IMO it’s all drunken frat boys who never ever deserve to be allowed near a woman again. :rolleyes: It’s a stupid, vulgar gesture.

That wouldn’t explain why I have seen more young women making the gesture than young men, including having decals of it on the back windows of their jeeps, and whatnot. Unless they’re just drunken sorority sisters.

People are stupid. Does that explain it? :slight_smile:

I have a photo of my wife and Margaret Cho giving the shocker symbol together. Yes, it’s as awesome a photo as it sounds.

Seriously? Women do this, too? Anyway that’s why I put “IMO” - in my opinion. But while it remains a vulgar gesture in my mind no matter what, girls doing it bother me much less than guys.

Pffft that’s nothing, doing a minivan is where it’s at!

two in the front, five in the back

I didn’t know what it was, and I still don’t. And I’m pretty sure I don’t care.

Yes, I’m familiar with it. I find people who get all worked up about it one way or the other a little baffling, though. It’s a stupid gesture and the majority of people who find it hilarious are so deeply terrified of sexuality of any stripe beneath their blustering bravado, the only way they can handle it at all is by giggling like naughty twelve year olds.

If referencing a dainty little pinkie finger up the butt makes you lightheaded or snicker, you’ve got issues.
