In Italian it means you’re a cuckold!

In ASL I think it could mean "If you don't vote for me, I'll sit on you!" :0)

It means toilet or the letter T.

Perhaps it’s the same as sticking your tongue between your index and middle fingers. If the shoe fits, wear it.

See http://www.languagetrainers.co.uk/blog/2007/09/24/top-10-hand-gestures/

. The “Fig” 'I've got your nose'. Nothing more than a fist with the thumb poking out from between the index and middle fingers, the mano fico (literally ‘fig hand’) is a gesture of Roman origin, used as a positive gesture to encourage good luck and fertility, and ward away the ‘evil eye’. The sexual nuance comes from from the hand’s resemblance to the female private parts (fica is actually Italian slang for “vulva”), with the nub of the thumb representing the clitoris. There seems to be a lack of positive meaning to this sign these days, however. If you’re doing the ‘fig’, it probably means you’re denoting a letter T in American Sign Language. But if somebody else is giving you the same gesture (especially if they are of the Asian persuasion), they’re probably giving you a rather disparaging insult, roughly equivalent to “f--- you!”. This hand sign is also highly disparaging to Italians and Turks, and in India would be taken as a threatening gesture. Most non-deaf Americans or Brits, however, would simply see the mano fico as a bizarre-looking fist.

Looks like the Italian gesture known as "the figs".

Why, it’s “I’ve got your nose”, of course.

She distracts you with that before she puts them in the testicle lock box.

It could a result of the training politicians who naturally point at people get to try to overcome using that gesture. Pointing is aggressive and not appreciated by the audience. You often see pols squeeze all their fingers together and then jab out with the entire hand. This could just be a variation. Aggressiveness, her name is Hillary.

I think it also means she is a devil worshiper!!

Of course I'm not 100% sure on the fact, but I'm sure it would make a great scandal.
