Dude, radical emoji. That’s just a gnarly way of tell someone to hang loose, bro. I’ve usually seen it done left-to-right instead of up-and-down, but the universe is infinite so if you wanna flip it that’s totally copacetic.
Edit: I started thinking about surfers and it dragged up memories of this legend on Tosh.0
It’s good to hang loose? What if stuff falls out?
I’m starting to think you’re not here in good faith.
I have bots disabled in my lemmy’s settings, why is this showing???
Great question! I have an advanced algorithm that bypasses most modern filters. Can I help you with anything else?
price for apple sauce at walmart
Sure! I’d be happy to help you with that one.
The price for applesauce at Walmart varies based on the brand and size. For example:
Great Value Original Applesauce (4 oz, 6 cups) is priced at $2.78.
Great Value Original Applesauce (48 oz jar) costs $6.74.
White House All-Natural Applesauce (50 oz jar) is around $1.97.
These prices may vary slightly depending on your location or any ongoing promotions.
Stop pooping at parties
Jennifer is pooping at parties, and she is letting peoples know?!
“Hang loose” is what you tell someone who needs to chill out and let the waves carry them away from their problems man. Align your chakras with the Earth and so on.
Seriously though, the reason I wrote like that is I’m using the slang of roughly 90s/2000s-ish California surfer culture, which is where the hand signal was used to tell people to relax and be happy. Or say hi and let them know you are relaxed and happy. If you imagine it as a gang sign for surfer hippies you aren’t far off.
Hang Loose (both gesture and phrase) goes back to at LEAST the early '70s.
Didn’t like tosh.o much, but this one is pretty great
I’m surprised they made an emoji for something as obscene as this but you know that “two in the pink, one in the stink” thing for the shocker? This is along the same lines: One in the pink, one giving your lady a thumbs up to tell her you’re a chill dude and having a good time.
Doesn’t work as well on guys unless he’s flexible or has a bunch of strategically-placed mirrors.
It’s the “call me hand” emoji.
Some cultures have a way of counting to ten on one hand. This represents six in one version of that system.
shaka when the walls fell
Ahh, beat me to it
Temba, his arms wide
Sokath, his eyes open.
It’s a friendly gesture. Shaka / hang loose.
Hang loose, brah.
Its the Shaka, Hawaii’s official state hand gesture.
Thank you.
This is way more accurate than that urban dictionary.
In Hawaii (depending on where you are) shaka is used all the time. Kinda like waving to someone with a hint of good vibe to it. Also to emphasize “hey that’s cool”. You see it a lot waving thanks to cars, too
Is there also a hand signal for when something isn’t good?
🖕
Well, I guess I meant a Hawaiian one. But I suppose that one is universal.
It’s known as the hawaiian good luck sign.
To add to this, it’s widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.
China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it’s the number 6 (pronounced ‘leo’). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced “leo leo leo”) while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.
Source: I taught in China for nine years in an international school with a very large Brazilian community.
Fascinating. I wonder how the millions of Chinese Catholics feel about this use.
Catholics are diverse, I suppose the Chinese ones might not be into the Apocalypse stuff that much, not everyone is. I don’t really know, though, could be interesting.
So, while stereotypical, the surfer sign meaning isn’t far off!
Radical 🤙
Hang ten breh
Of course the fucking Mormons are trying to own it.
Who copied it from the freemasons
It is not the shaka. It’s the “call me hand” emoji.
It’s not the call me hand, it’s the hang loose emoji!
https://emojipedia.org/call-me-hand#designs
It is in fact, the call me hand from iOS
In Unicode 9, it’s label is ‘call me hand’
I get that it is the exact same symbol as other things. However, officially as an emoji it is recognized as ‘call me hand’.
My guess is to why is to not recognize any particular nation. Because the hand gesture isn’t just Shaka, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_number_gestures?wprov=sfla1 see number six.
Or see ASL, the letter Y.
It’s not the hang loose emoji, it’s the fancy tea party emoji!
I think maybe this sub is a little too lenient with its name.
Would you rather lick she-hulk’s pussy? Or get tied up with wonder womans truth lasso?
She-hulk, final answer.
There were in fact stupid questions.
Thank you.
Symbol for the hand used like a good old telephone receiver. Thumb is near ones ear, the little finger is near ones mouth. Used here in Germany when land line were used more often to show someone behind a window: I’ll call you (later).

Isn’t it a surfer thing? Like hang ten, radical, man.

Check the urban dictionary link that Kokolores posted, that’s your answer! :D
