Some cultures have a way of counting to ten on one hand. This represents six in one version of that system.
It may be Shaka, but in Unicode and emoji it's "call me" https://emojipedia.org/call-me-hand
The amount or people that dont know about shakas is killing me. No culture
Its the Shaka, Hawaii’s official state hand gesture.
Of course the fucking Mormons are trying to own it.
Who copied it from the freemasons
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
So, while stereotypical, the surfer sign meaning isn't far off!
Radical 🤙
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.
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!
shaka when the walls fell
Temba, his arms wide
Ahh, beat me to it
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
Didn't like tosh.o much, but this one is pretty great
It's good to hang loose? What if stuff falls out?
"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.
Stop pooping at parties
Jennifer is pooping at parties, and she is letting peoples know?!
I'm starting to think you're not here in good faith.
Shaka brah
What's that mean?
Check the urban dictionary link that Kokolores posted, that's your answer! :D
Hang ten.
Hang ten, dude!
It’s a friendly gesture. Shaka / hang loose.
Isn't it a surfer thing? Like hang ten, radical, man.
Call me
I don't know you.
Oh, that's just Blondie.
When in doubt, see the emojipedia. Yes, there’s an encyclopedia for explaining what different emoji mean.
🤙
Hang ten. Or Call me? That’s a stretch but kinda like a phone
"Call me" is definitely what it used to mean in the 90s
Only if you hold your hand to your head. This is hang ten, and you wiggle your wrist back and forth while looking totally radical, dude!
Sometimes a pinky is fun
It's the "call me hand" emoji.
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.
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.
