DH sent a message to remind me to put the rice on. I replied that I had and he replied to that with 👌.

I was a bit Shock as I thought it meant 'arsehole' but he thinks it means OK. Grin

"It’s a cock"

Well I never 🤣 every day is a school day!

In British Sign Language in my region of the UK two hands doing this means perfect, but one hand means arsehole!

Pootle40 · 21/10/2021 21:50

Sweet, as in ok.

sausagelastrange · 21/10/2021 21:53

It means ok. But....it also makes me think of a nipple tweak too Grin

Thanks for that information if I ever happen to need it.

Sorrynotsorry2 · 21/10/2021 22:13

👌 = ok
👉👌= not ok

🤔

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 21/10/2021 22:14

I've Googled 'British Sign Language arsehole' and found a YouTube video that demonstrates it. The three free fingers are pointed downwards rather than upwards like the emoji.

TuftyMarmoset · 21/10/2021 22:17

Ok is 👍
👌 is only to be used ironically/sarcastically to mean ‘well isn’t that just great‘ IMO, eg manager has rota’d me on my day off 👌

minipie · 21/10/2021 22:20

@Sorrynotsorry2

👌 = ok 👉👌= not ok

🤔

Dying here Grin
WarmSausageTea · 21/10/2021 22:20

Back when we only had the keyboard for things like :-) I used to think that < 3 meant fart.

RightOnTheEdge · 21/10/2021 22:23

Oh I might start doing that sign to my Brazilian ex and act innocent and say I just meant OK! 👌🤷‍♀️

claireb7rg · 21/10/2021 22:23

I've scuba dived in Greece with Greek people and used 👌 as ok and not been arrested... Its the standard international symbol under water for ok as 👍 means to go up / or to surface and 👎 means go lower / go under water.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 21/10/2021 22:23

It can be offensive in some places apparently... many years ago we were warned before our school trip to Spain. I’m not sure if that helped or made certain classmates worse tbh 🤦🏻‍♀️

HeronLanyon · 21/10/2021 22:24

Scuba diving sign of aok.

NoDecentHandlesLeft · 21/10/2021 22:31

It means OK. At least I hope so.
I send it to my boss frequently, although arsehole wouldn't be far off sometimes!

The Unicode Consortium that decides what new emojis to add is dominated by US corporations. No wonder we have a few emojis of weapons and violence (dagger, bomb, rifle, and arguably various tools eg axe) but none relating to sex. Hence the aubergine.

Jennifer3849 I think you probably need to start your own thread about that.
Why would it be unreasonable to stop a 5 Yr old watching a 15 rated programme though? Confused
