Flipping the Two Handed Twirling Bird
A few years ago I watched, from the passenger seat of the car, as a guy in a BMW cut off a guy on a motorcycle. He then stopped suddenly in front of him. Luckily the motorcycle driver swerved and just missed a collision. For the record, this wasn’t a Sunday driver kind of cyclist. This was a leather-clad, metal helmet wearing, chopper driving kind of motorcyclist. He took a second to collect his thoughts and then issued a two handed twirling flying bird salute to the jerk in the Beamer. If you have not had the pleasure of witnessing this act, let me explain.
The left leather gloved hand extends the middle finger in an upward pointing direction. The right hand then, does the same. Then, both extended digits, in an aggressive manner, twirl in opposite directions. It was so cool! In a biker dude kinda way of course. The jerk in the car was a little intimidated.
Up until today, I never had the opportunity to use this particular gesture. I usually had the kids in the car. Today however, when the idiot in the white Camry almost ran into the side of me because he was to important to stop at the stop sign, the kids were at home. Who knew, I would actually have the pleasure of re-creating it. It felt good to express myself. That’s all I have to say.
I’m sure a mom in a T-shirt driving a car didn’t have the same affect as that biker. The driver did speed off and I think he might have checked his rear-view mirror.
So tell me, have you ever witness the rare and elusive two handed twirling bird or any of it’s exotic relative? Feel free to tell me about it. I think I might start collecting them.
I am honored that I have inspired you. I’ll be sure to add the ‘gift bird’ to my list of possible bird flying choices. :)
Your welcome for the info. Let me know if you if you need anything else. I certainly don’t have all the answers but I am more than happy to give you any info that I can.
wonderful! i haven’t heard of this since in high skool punkin’ days…not as artistic though still quite somewhat-creative? it’s when someone throws an insult your way and you tell them to hang on as you pretend to grope around in your left and right pockets with your hands…then put on a “oh! i got it!” expression look, pull out your hands nice n slow and smoothe and flicking them the birds as you extend it towards their face as if giving them a present….hehehehehe!
been awhile! haven’t had my knickers in such a twist to get creative with my dancing birdies!
hmmmmm…made me thought of ideas to do as shadow dance!
ps. thanks for the homeskool info!
