I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 10 months ago

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!

Probably because telling a man he has a small dick is okay but saying a woman has a loose pussy isn't

that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises

Why would radical feminists target men with small penises? They’re probably already naturally humiliated, right? It’s the big dick men who need to be taken down a notch.

Hah. Until your member gets pinched in the XL jock strap, or the dreaded dip, or the "nope, that's too deep".

It is Italian, but doesn't mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

Also, in related news, today I learned:

In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca -2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Start of the motion. But I see where you're coming from. This seems to be a matter of perception.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I thought it was finger banging.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah, so you're someone to ignore.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, sure. You do you, friend.
