What does this hand gesture mean?

It can be found in my WoO blog entry on Kings Peak, the highest point in Utah. As far as I know, it means to call a time out, but this middle-aged man has not been up to speed with popular culture since the mid-eighties. Click on the picture for a larger version. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5737 | Ordinarily, I'd say "time out", although I like jpprovance's "tranny pride" answer. The big question is, WHY did they strike THAT pose? Could the 'T' mean "Tourist" ? Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

I have no idea. As I said in my blog entry, they walked right past me and my two hiking buddies as we left a Chinese restaurant in the Greektown section of Salt Lake City. I remarked that I'd love to get a picture of them, but didn't have the guts to ask. So the lone female in our group volunteered. She had to run about 50 yards to catch up to them. All she said was they were very nice about accomodating her request. She didn't mention anything about the T. I have a theory it may be for a sports team of some kind they were fans of. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings / And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss / And lose, and start again at your beginnings / And never breathe a word about your loss..." -Rudyard Kipling |

Uh, Sorry Wiz, but I'm pretty confident that girls like that most certainly aren't sports fans. |
