WTF

That gesture has meant “perfect” for as long as I can remember.

Someone needs to tell the constantly offended to go screw themselves. It’s out of control and totally ridiculous. If you walk through life looking to be offended by every little thing that’s your problem. There is no right to not be offended.

From the Oxford dictionary, very interesting where they say the most plausible origin of this is...

“The only other theory with at least a degree of plausibility is that the term originated among Black slaves of West African origin, and represents a word meaning ‘all right, yes indeed’ in various West African languages. Unfortunately, historical evidence enabling the origin of this expression to be finally and firmly established may be hard to unearth.”

So the origin is most likely from Black Slaves
