I was shocked to read that the okay sign, made by joining the thumb and forefinger, are now signs used by neo-nazis and white supremacists. It doesn't seem fair that they can transfer hatred to a universally accepted symbol for everything being okay. Maybe we can transfer the meaning of the extended middle finger to meaning "May God bless you."

It also was a sign for Ballentine Beer. The "3 ring" hand gesture meant to enjoy a Ballentine beer.

In France it has always meant up your you know what. My father traveled there for Ford and found out quickly that was not the way to express good job. Lol

How about making the OK sign with one hand and sticking the extended middle finger through it for the PC crowd? It could imply OK screw you.
