This seems pretty overblown to me. Basically any hand gesture is an obscene insult in Greece? Maybe someone native wants to offer some perspective?
Yeah don’t worry, this is pretty bs. The only one that’s kinda accurate is number 4 but with outstretched fingers, not stuck together. And even that is slowly being fazed out in favor of the middle finger.
Greeks sound like very contentious people.
Greek here: you just made an enemy for life ✌️

I am a turkish person and no the “ok” sign doesn’t mean something like that
From Belgium, never heard of what they’re stating there either
LMAO were the fuck someone gonna be mad at “ok” in brasil
Also, don’t make the crip sign in criplandia
I’m Australian and I have never heard of the peace sign meaning up yours
I doubt the accuracy of the information in this
I think they’re getting confused with a similar sign. If you do the peace sign sweeping the fingers upward but with the back of your hand facing the person then that means up yours. Or at least it did when I was younger.
So Greece has a problem. Well 👍
Brit here, the V sign has two different meanings dependant on which side of the fingers is shown. If the palm side is shown then it’s the same peace sign, if it’s the other side then it’s offensive.
I’ve been told it harkens back to Agincourt, where captured English archers had their drawing fingers cut off, so showing them would mean you’re out to shoot some French.
#3 is also a dog whistle for white supremacy…WP too…boo racists.
Edit: why’s mine big?

Gotta agree with the Filipinos on number 6 its like calling a dog to heel and its intentionally demeaning.
Tbh I just assumed it was what Americans were constantly doing to Filipinos when they were an American colony.
