The thumb doesn’t hold down the ring finger. You’re supposed to wiggle it back and forth when you make the gesture so as to demonstrate the usefulness just out front. Ther emight be two pools, but you can’t forget to take the boy in the boat. ---

I got really whooshed here, folks. The local Junior High recently changed it’s mascot name or whatever since it was a “slang porn term”. Well, I didn’t really care and never looked into it. Yes, they were the “Shockers”. I’d never heard of the “shocker”, and just didn’t care enough to look into the junior high name change. Hell, it never even dawned on me even after I posted above that I’d never heard the term! So there you have it. A whole school of Shockers. Man, I bet that got a lot of play in the halls! Dense Duke signing off. ---

Oh yeah…I have a couple of “Shocker” yearbooks, too. Duke, who once even WAS a “Shocker” Damn, whooooosh! ---

I hadn’t heard of it until I joined the Navy. Rather entertaining when two female officers walk by discussing The Shocker. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/very-tmi-two-in-the-pink-one-in-the-stink-is-this-gesture-well-known-or-obscure/286720.md?page=2)
