I did not write this part of the article, however I have found the following sources for validation:

There appears to be some vandalism in the section on the raised middle finger

There's nothing here on the gesture where one flips one's lips with the index finger. It is similar in meaning to the cuckoo sign, but can also indicate something is too difficult or "over one's head.[1]" Papertrail 19:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Tapping one's temple with one's index finger ? --68.0.120.35 02:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shaka sign

It is also used by FC Barcelona player Ronaldinho as part of his goal celebration.

This seems very wrong. The shaka sign is very common among Brazilians, I doubt Ronaldinho started the trend. --moyogo 15:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

How about the "Over my head" sign were the person moves a hand, palm down, over the top of their head to indicate that they didn't understand something just said.

[edit] Heart sign

Any idea what this is called? Used a lot in Asia, especially Japan. The two hands are supposed to look like a heart. Patiwat 02:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
