In Japanese Sign Language, this same gesture (with all fingers curled inward except the middle one) means the following: elder brother (hand moving up), younger brother (hand moving down), and siblings in general (one hand moving up, one moving down).
(sorry, if that offends you. I suppose I should have put a /j tag on that. though apparently some things are more broadly universal than others. Like shushing people with a finger.)
Yeah, but some signs are universal.
Actually, gonna shelve that thought for when I need to kill time not working…. Cuz individual signs that are common/universal sounds interesting…

Is there a culture in the world where flippin the bird at someone isn’t disrespectful? Genuine question.

The equivalent words for sisters are expressed with the pinky.
