Yesterday we got some culture training. Of course we need to be able to tell someone to F-off/you at any given moment, so we learned 5 ways to do just that. Really, we learned 5 gestures not to accidentally make and offend an Albanian. So without further adieu, here they are:
1. Whenever you separate the middle finger from the rest, you're saying F-you!
2. We know this one as the old fashion American flippin' the bird. Here, when used, you're saying F-you
3. What's "okay" in the states, when used in Albania, you're saying F-you!
4. This one is usually used in association with the bird back in the land of the free. However, when used in Albania, you're saying F-you.
5. Under the red, white, and blue, this is used to bide your time and is usually associated with a snap. Here though, when used, you're saying F-you... with or without the snap.
This has been my lesson on 5 ways to say F-you in Albanian Body Language - use at your own risk.
