Live Long and Prosper is a now-famous hand gesture performed when two Vulcan characters either greet one another or take their leave. The phrase "Live long and prosper" is accompanied by this formal hand gesture. The (lesser known) response is "Peace and long life."

It's funny, my left hand, has no problem, with the the Vulcan salute, my right hand, has a problem.
Mods pull at your discretion.

Leonard Nimoy was as a Kohen, and paid homage to his roots.

That means all Vulcans are racist.

Can do both hands at the same time and without thinking.
Hard to prosper in today’s world. Don’t know about living long with WWIII starting any time. Beam me up, Scotty.

Interesting that you would post the image of Celia Lovsky née Cäcilie Lvovsky a.k.a. Mrs. Peter Lorre (1897-1979) to illustrate the salute - Celia herself was unable to perform it without having someone covertly (off-camera) splay her fingers for her.
Nice that she remained friends with Lorre (whom she affectionately called "Ungeheuer" = "monster") even after the divorce.
Only wish that the writers of the episode "Amok Time" had been consistent with the antiquated English (with "thee's" and "thou's") they used to "simulate" Ancient Vulcan in the exchange between Spock and T'Pau (or did the actors "flub" it?).

Just the opposite with me.
The salute I have for Biden and Co. involves a different configuration of fingers.

I have the same thing; works w/left hand, not right hand. Wondering why that is?

That’s great. I did not know she was married to Peter Lorre. I just watched The Maltese Falcon again. He’s so good in that and many others.

I loved the way she put her own spin on a Vulczn speaking English...”Spock...are ye Wulcan, or are ye hewl-man?”
