Dangerous gestures. - 20120608
People use rude gestures to show their anger, especially the males. But people use different gestures to express the same meaning.
It is interesting to see such a picture, although I am not sure whether it is accurate.

In England we use the gestures in the pictures for America, England and Brazil as rude gestures. If we make the ones shown for Thailand and France it means good or O.K. If we make the one shown for Vietnam it means we are hoping for good luck!

I'd like to add that the photo indicates that these gestures are rude in the countries depicted with each gesture. It doesn't mean that the meaning conveyed is necessarily the same.

@liqtherealone , thanks, the Thailand one means "great" here. We use it to show our praise to others. :）

In Poland, we have the same gesture as the one in the USA to express extreme anger.
The funny thing is, that the gestures from Thailand and France mean 'okay' in Poland :)
