Your Little Pinky/ Pink Saturday

 

Many, many thanks to Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday.  Drop in on How Sweet the Sound and you will get a large dose of PINK! 

Have you ever given much thought to your little finger, sometimes called your PINKY, well I didn’t either until I needed something pink.

There are a lot of traditions and different meanings associated with this finger.

In the USA a pinky swear or pinky promise is made when a person wraps one of their pinky fingers around the other person’s pinky and makes a promise.  Traditionally, it’s considered binding, and the idea was originally that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger.

Chapman University students hold up one pinky as a sign of professionalism.

MOST IMPORTANT…..IN TEXAS SPORTS

This hand gesture is associated with fans of the Texas Longhorns ---George W.  Bush has frequently used the “Hook ‘m Horns” hand gesture.

 

 

 

In sign language I Love You is made using a combination of the letters 'I', 'L', and 'Y' . It is made by extending the thumb, index finger, and little finger while the middle and ring finger touch the palm.
However... you should be aware: this hand gesture is the symbol used to curse someone in Italian .

In Japan, among the members of the Japanese gangsters, the penalty for various offenses is removal of parts of the little finger.

In Turkey and in Colombia, it’s tradition to link little fingers when two people are making a bet.

In  Russia, when two people are French-kissing, it is customary to often link little fingers together.

Hope you enjoyed this post concerning YOUR PINKY.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

 

PLEASE PRAY FOR DEBBIE AND AMY!!!!
