horned devil hand signs

[nailit]

you'd expect it at rock concerts but not from world leaders.
So whats it all about?
Conspiracy theories anyone?

[RATTER15]

I never associated it with a horned devil, I just thought it was a "cool" hand sign for the youngsters. You learn something new everyday :)

[rojash]

I always thought it was to let people know that you had arthritis.

Bet they're all alien lizards under the skin. ;o)

Maybe he's a Dio fan! :)

[nailit]

Always said that George Bush was a lizard naomi ;-)
Bit bizzare though, look how he's posing at 1:20. Who makes hand gestures like that while standing next to the queen? (or standing next to anyone for that matter)
Heaven help me. I'm turning into a conspiracy theorist...

It has many meanings, have a look here for a few.

I've never associated the gesture with the devil. Whilst I was driving my car the other day, I gave way to a bus at a junction. As he passed me, the driver gave me this gesture. At the time, I thought it was a bit odd but slightly cool.

I've always known it as the signof the cuckold.

I always thought it was a sign used in a noisy pub for ordering two beers.

In some places, the sign is used to symbolise the head of a bull and is used to indicate that someone is talking BS. However, I'm with Erin - the most common usage is that popularised in heavy metal circles by Ronnie James Dio and was a sign his grandmother supposedly used to ward off the devil (and not, as is frequently claimed, an indication that the signer is a follower of Satan). Over time, it has lost any religious connotations and is typically used to indicate that something \m/ RAWKS \m/.

Some people have wayyyyyy too much time on their hands.

[China Doll]

These days I just think of it as 'rock and roll' sign.

[Booldawg]

nothing sinister - I think Dick Cheney has just spotted another Illuminati member in crowd.

//Some people have wayyyyyy too much time on their hands.//
I really do need to get out more...

[coccinelle]

When i saw Barack Obama do that i just supposed it was because he supports the Chicago Bulls... so that's not true then?
