My guess—A rapper’s peace sign.

In this particular case, it means "I need to cut down on the pie." The puckered lips reinforce the dieting motif.

Sideways and stupid? Yeah, sounds about right.

“Maybe they’ll think it’s just the face I’m making and not notice I’m a fatty”?

Then of course there’s this:

Don’t know what “this” means but the whole thing is just immitating the thug gang banger “gang sign” thing.

You front up some kind of cold stare, tuff pose, and throw your fingers out there or cradle your hands over your chest.

Some people call these people “wiggers”. The term is not a compliment and it isn’t just white people using it.

Want to know what it is? Dumb. And a sign our culture is going that much more down the tubes. Now tell them to pull their drawers up or their concealed weapon won’t be so concealed and they might shoot themselves in a foot.

My wife had no clue when asked, thought she’d be more in tune with gen-x/y/z.

While we are being confused, what is with the forefinger and pinkie being help up? I used to think that was for some Texas college football team meaning “hook em”?

That’s funny. That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

Depends on the exact fingering position.

Generally they are trying to make letters with their fingers.

Some girls make “hearts”.

<3 is a heart (as is some positioning where you can point your thumbs together as the bottom point of a heart and curl the fingers to make the top).

I don’t know what < is. I’d think it is more of a sloppy “2 finger” gun (and the movies show you how to hold it “sideways” now).

The rotten face expressions are worse than the pseudo gang banger gesture. It is a coldness that says “you can’t smile” or else people will think they can put one over on you for being too trusting. You “got no game”. You’re a “punk” and not a “playa”.

If people want respect they should first learn to respect themselves. Being “popular” does not equate to being respected. The football team may all want to bang the nympho cheerleader but it is doubtful they are looking for anything long term.

I've seen it alot, I guess it's better the raunchy photos a lot of young girls have been putting up. Imagine how disturbing it was for me to see my 14 year old niece put on her myspace “slim waste pretty face”. This is as I have said before what is wrong with America. Even when I was that age 12 years ago it wasn't like that.

Maybe 2 fingers are the bulemic's distress sign, "stand back I'm gonna puke now..."

Who is this mythical rapper who sings about peace?

Every rapper I’ve ever heard about went on and on about his piece, or his piece.

This is my rifle, and this is my gun...
This one’s for fighing, and this one’s for fun.

I thought it was all the young lezzies symbol for ‘I eat at the Y’

That's a "V" with the fingers between the mouth and flicking the tongue.
