Fascinating. Growing up Italian in Brooklyn, that gesture had a more nuanced role for me and others.

What do you want? Was certainly one of them.

What were you thinking? As in, I can’t believe you just said or did that.

Showing the fingers in both hands — kind of meant — God, you’ve lost it. As if the person’s conversation just went off the rails.

Almost always good-natured in intent, fun to use. 😉
