I knew this community was worth reading. And, for the record, I'd have to say that sticking up your middle finger is less obscene than actually saying they have inappropriate relationships with their mother.
For once I found myself VERY thoroughly amused with such a discussion. Maybe it's that I just the other night found my copy of the MP3 "Let's Play Some Tetris Motherfucker" (the voice done semi-Stephen-Hawking and the tune the basic 2 upbeat Tetris themes with additional techno-rave-ish stuff mixed in), or it could be that they're actually holding an intelligent thought-out discussion about it. Either way, I found it rather amusing that one would be afraid of it being "obscene"...there's no way for that not to be obscene unless they're talking about the "kosher" sexual relations of their father. I guess it's just that they figured it would be less blatant if it were something non-ASL-ers wouldn't recognize. I learned something new tonight. *puts thumb on chin with middle extended upwards* My demeanor dictates it won't get much use though, oh darn. :-p The S-twist will be more in practice. I already have a few of my own *ahem* signs...such as "strangling air" when I'm REALLY beyond frustrated with someone.
