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!
