- Fig_sign abstract "The fig sign (Belarusian: дуля; Czech: fík; Hungarian: fityisz, füge; Lithuanian: špyga; Macedonian: шипка; Montenegrin - šipak; Polish: figa; Croatian: figa, figu; Russian: кукиш, шиш, дуля, фига, фиг; Slovak: figa; Slovene: figa; Serbian: шипак; Turkish: Nah; Ukrainian: дуля; Yiddish: פייג) is a mildly obscene gesture used in Turkish and Slavic cultures and some other cultures that uses two fingers and a thumb, but not equal to the finger in Anglo-American culture.The finger position is an approximate representation of glans penis, which is reflected in the name (in Russian "шиш", literally "pine cone", is a metonym for penis or tip of the penis), or of a clitoris, also reflected in the name (in many languages fig is a euphemism for vulva). This gesture is most commonly used to refuse giving of aid or to disagree with the target of gesture. Usually it is connected with requests for a financial loan or assistance with performing physical work.Another use of this gesture is for warding off evil eye, jealousy, etc.In Ancient Rome, the fig sign, or mano fico, was made by the pater familias to ward off the evil spirits of the dead as a part of the Lemuria ritual.More anciently, it was the symbol of the fertility cult of The Goddess, Tanit or Ashtarte, and it was widely represented by painted or sculpted symbols in stone and portable amulets that were carried on the person, representing the powers of her hand, hand gesture used to invoke her. The oldest of these, made in ivory, are almost 8, 000 years old and must have symbolized former cults and forms of divinities alike the later known ones.Recently, it has also become a common term in Padonkaffsky jargon to refer to Control-Alt-Delete. Svitlana Pyrkalo, a producer at the BBC World Ukrainian Service, explained that "you need three fingers to press the buttons. So it's like telling somebody (a computer in this case) to get lost."The letter "T" in the American manual alphabet is identical to this gesture.".
