Screw You
This is very similar
to the American OK, but it's VERY obscene! It means
"screw you" like the gesture in the picture --->. There
are countless jokes in Brazil about unknowning Americans
making the OK sign to signify approval or pleasure.
Please, train yourself to use the "thumbs up" sign instead.
Years ago in Rio, people was at the movies and they
were showing a newsreel before the film. When Richard
Nixon appeared making the OK sign, some clown in the
audience yelled "that's what he's doing to the American
people." Everyone in the theater broke out in laughter,
of course, and we were laughing for quite a while!
