'Hook 'em, 'horns' gesture lost in translation

Seems with Euroweenies everything gets lost, such as their soveriegnty, their will to fight, their intelligence, and nearly everthing else.

everthing=everything

The Norweinies need to get out more.

anyone got a pic?

As a UT alumni, this is truly not only hysterically funny, but the epitome of Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing".

Gee, I hope they get can over it--don't want Norway mad at us.

[Route101]

Guess it's time for a few..."know what the hell were talk'in about" classes in Norway......

I do believe it is a sign language attempt at "I love you".

[teezle]

So you guys assume that people in Norway would know the sign of the Texas University Longhorns?
I suppose everyone outside the US (or even Texas, dunno) can only assume that he is making a Satan's hand gesture for fun.

[teezle]

PS: Not that, when I would be a reporter, I would spend one phrase about in the newspaper...

The Gator chop in Norway = I will crush your head in a vice. T he Seminole war chant in Norway = ahhahhahahahahhhhhh = I just but my tongue

[floridarolf]

In 50 years, when this handsign isn't associated with the Texas Longhorns anymore, urban legends and conspiracy theories will florish around these pictures.

Amazing how our press and "leading" classes can be humiliating for us Europeans at times. But who cares of what they're hurted by anyway?? America'd better ignore them. Rest assured that ordinary guys here just love the "hook'em horns" and all that blunt next-door guy style of that good Dubya of yours! These haughty rabbits are just disgusting. Sad to think what we were and what we are now.

Have fun, squash all tyrants and let them weasels look for new ways to conceal envy!! God bless

They may not know Aggie hand signs, but the women are beautiful over there in Norwegia.

[Brilliant]

What do the Europeans care about religion?

[mathluv]

Did they have any comment on First Mom Barbarta giving the Corp Band the 'Gig 'Em'?

Doesn't 'Hook em Horns' symbol mean 'Hang Loose' in Hawaii?

Bush's Devil Hand Symbol Shocks European Viewers

And now, with their unfortunate headline, The Houston Chronicle ensures that some Americans will believe the president was giving a Satanic symbol as well.

[isthisnickcool]

Some people are so stupid. Everyone, I mean everyone, totally missed what Bush and his family where doing with their toes.

I know it is asking too much, but you would think that people would realize that hand gestures mean different things around the world. For instance, in Greece waving your hand palm forward is a nasty gesture. Just as words can have two completely different meanings in different cultures, so can hand gestures.

If a reporter really desired to do an interesting article, then this would be a great topic. But I guess I'm asking too much.

Europeans are so backward and unsophisticated.

Hey, you Nordic hippies, I have a sign for you!
