Nothing that I can think of, just messing about.

Kcar · 03/11/2020 21:14

Cuckold.

SunInTheSkyYouKnowHowIFeel · 03/11/2020 21:16

I thought its just a silly think people do, I don't think it has a 'meaning'?

Flushi · 03/11/2020 21:18

It’s just a joke isn’t it?

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 03/11/2020 21:18

It’s just silliness.

Kcar · 03/11/2020 21:20

’s the sign for cuckold horns.

It’s ubiquitous now but my gran would have gone in and out through us for a short cut if we did it because she considered it such a slur.

Doyoumind · 03/11/2020 21:22

I've never heard of it as cuckold horns. Interesting. I just thought it was something children and stupid adults did.

I had no idea. I just know it has always annoyed me!

I thought it was just silly "you've got bunny ears" behaviour.

I think there was a thing at primary school about 30 years ago where if you did it above someone and shouted "dickies" they had nits.

RishiMcRichface · 03/11/2020 21:25

Never heard of the horns thing so if someone did it not knowing about that I would believe them.

ghostmous3 · 03/11/2020 21:27

Well yes I've always took it as a joke, just messing about and designed to make the other person look daft in a photo.

Ex has gone loopy at me over a picture dd posted on fb of her and my dp messing about on photos and of her and her sister and me too. On one of them dp has done the bunny ears over dd13 head. Shes oblivious and hes laughing.

Apparently ex reckons its means kiss me quick and shag menow.
I've never ever heard of this. Dp is quite upset as ex called him a paedophile. Ex want me to keep him away from his girls wtf
Dp and I live together, been together a few years, hes brilliant with my girls.
Ex on the other hand was an abusive twat, heavily into porn and my girls are fed.up with him taking photos without thier consent to send to whatever woman hes texting..but that's another story

It is or was a sexual insult originally.

But your ex sounds like a prat.

RishiMcRichface · 03/11/2020 21:28

my gran would have gone in and out through us for a short cut this is a great saying I have never heard before, can I ask whereabouts in the country it comes from?

Kcar · 03/11/2020 21:29

In and out through us for a short cut? Scotland 😂

RishiMcRichface · 03/11/2020 21:30

Of course it doesn't mean that you more often see young blokes doing it to their mates.

VashtaNerada · 03/11/2020 21:31

It used to mean that the person who ‘received’ the ears had been cheated on. It’s now just a silly prank to make it look like they have bunny ears. Your ex is mental.

Only ever been "haha I'm making you look silly" in my 50 years.
