I didn't realize they did that in Africa. They do it in Brazil too, but it doesn't mean someone's in trouble there.<a href="#comment-105" rel="nofollow">@Sally</a> Cool!

Hello Dave,
Interesting about the gesture which is also used in many parts of Africa, as in Trinidad, by children to show that trouble is on its way!

This hand gesture is usually used by small children to show that someone will be getting into trouble or that a teacher or parent will be told when another child has done something wrong. It is usually accompanied by the phrase "I'm going to tell" :-) Hi Dave,

In addition, keep the hand very relaxed and let it freely rotate ( no muscle required! ). The index finger will slap against both the middle finger AND the THUMB. It actually hurts if done too vigorously. The explanation is fine. In addition, keep the hand very relaxed and let it freely rotate ( no muscle required! ).
