I often see some swimmers doing this kind of sign: curling back middle and ring fingers and extend pinkie, index and thumb. For example, Ryan Lochte's right hand in the left background picture on http://twitter.com/ryanlochte. What does it mean actually? Thanks!

  • It's the horns! "In Italy, pointing the index and little finger at someone is ... an accusation of having an unfaithful wife." My brother married a girl from Italy. She was quite surprised when she saw her first University of Texas football game and 70,000 people making an obscene gesture.
