Hang on! One of those ticks is for a man who is flicking the V's! That is INcorrect.

I know they call it the peace symbol, but do they realise it stands for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it seems at odds with the general political views espoused in your country...

Probably the wrong thread to bring it up in though...

Gravdigr · 04-21-2011, 04:23 PM

Translation needed. I'm lost here. Completely.

As for political views in my country, pick a view, any view...

I'm still lost tho.

The Hippies took the symbol from the CND while they were busy chaining themselves to the fence at Rocky Flats. There was a brief trademark infringement scuffle, all of the lawyers were over 30 so nobody trusted them, and then someone brought out a bong, and they forgot to argue it further.

I was lost at ticks and flicking V's. I still havent seen the peace symbol or the Cnd thing. ?

Anywho...Mtp's doggie.

Speaking of:

MTP, I shoulda asked beforehand, but, when I saw this pic in your photostream you linked to, I just couldn't help myself.

If you'd like, I'm sure a mod would yank it down for ya.

Sorry I stole your pic. (What's her name again?)

I like it

I think that "Flicking the V" is British for "Flipping the bird."

No idea on the ticks. Nasty, disease-bearing bloodsucking parasites.

You know, liberals.

wolf · 04-21-2011, 05:45 PM

Oh. Checkmarks. nevermind.

monster · 04-21-2011, 06:26 PM

ticks (UK) = checks/checkmarks (US)
peace/victory sign can be either way around in US, in UK must be palm out. Palm in is the V sign which means "fuck off" (I think stems from captured archers having their bow fingers cut off and being taunted) and is just as offensive as flipping the bird (middle finger only)
CND Symbol (UK) = Peace Symbol (US)

Good one Grav. Although I thought her look just said "FUCK OFF!"

Oh, now I see. The checkmarks in the Peace: your doing wrong post. Man, I just couldn't get the old synapses firing on that. I'm up to speed, now.
