Read More »The middle finger is a brotherly gesture in Japan. When used in the context of Japanese Sign Language, it’s translated as ‘ani’ to mean older brother. Sometimes the Japanese alternate two middle fingers in the air to mean siblings. In sign language, it’s translated as ‘kyoudai.’ The translation originates from a Japanese practice of assigning family names to all the fingers: Pointing the middle finger at someone is regarded as rude and downright disrespectful in the United States . However, not all countries perceive this hand gesture as such. In some countries in the Middle East and Europe , it’s customary to point the middle finger at another person. Here’s what the hand gesture means in different countries: Germany takes things a little far when it comes to the middle finger. It’s regarded as an insult punishable by the law. Under German’s insult law, using curse words and insulting gestures like the middle finger and sticking out the tongue is illegal. The gesture is known as flipping someone off and is a phallic symbol used in the past to belittle and insult somebody. If found using this hand gesture and are incredibly aggressive, you could attract a fine of 600-4000 euros. Extending the middle finger is a rude gesture in China. The Chinese see it as a sign of boredom and disrespect because they use one finger when pointing at animals. However, the context of using this gesture can define its meaning. If defining it in a religious context, extending the middle finger isn’t offensive; rather, religious people use it when meditating. Similarly, in Chinese Philosophy, the middle finger symbolizes prosperity, while in Medicine, it represents the body’s neck, head, and trunk. The French also find the middle finger gesture offensive. It’s called le majeur in French, but natives use the more offensive Latin phrase le doigt d’honneur when hurling insults. Two theories explain its origin. The widely publicized one explains that English soldiers used the middle finger to mock the French after being defeated in battle. French historians disagree with the myth saying its roots can be traced to ancient Rome. Romans used the middle finger to denote a sexual threat to the person it’s directed. Surprisingly the Russians use the middle finger to point at someone and emphasize a matter. Russians use the gesture, oblivious of its meaning in other countries. It was the case for a Russian speedskater, Daniil Aldoshkin, who displayed the middle finger to celebrate his team’s victory during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, unaware of its offensive meaning. Like most other countries, Brazilians find the middle finger extremely offensive. It’s one of the rudest gestures you can use in Brazil. It has the same meaning as making a circle with a thumb and the index finger, which Brazilians also find offensive. Although Americans use it to signal OK, the gesture has insulting connotations in Brazil.

Read More »Twelve Forever is a surprisingly touching show that will appeal to older kids, teens, and adults.
The first episode makes a terrible impression. Definitely not appropriate for the 8+ rating that I see on here. It talks about puberty right off in the first scene with mixed genders. The mom is trying to talk to her about puberty at her birthday party and in front of boys. She has these saggy breasts that fall over her pants! The creatures in her make believe land are either androgynous or super strange amorphous blobs. The villain appears to be a large breasted woman with a man's voice. I have no watched enough to see any of the touching messages some others have written are in here. My 10 year old likes it, but I'm not thrilled with her watching it. It looks like an adult swim cartoon to me.
It's worth noting that although the app itself is free, the course is a paid subscription service. You'll get a few hits for free, after which the...
