A phallus-shaped iceberg hovered off the coast of Dildo, Newfoundland in Conception Bay before collapsing.

    It is Italian, but doesn’t mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

    Also, in related news, today I learned:

    In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

      Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

        It’s a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

          I thought it was finger banging.

          I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

            Start of the motion. But I see where you’re coming from. This seems to be a matter of perception.

          Ah, so you’re someone to ignore.
