The Moutza
While talking to a friend, you may open your
palm and stretch out your fingers. But, if
you were in Greece, the same gesture
would be considered as a traditional manual
insult. It means that you are thrusting your
hand in the face of the opposite person and
using a brash 'na'. This suggests that you
are asking the person to 'eat shit' and leave
you alone. The moutza in American terms is
similar to the hand gesture that means 'talk
to the hand'.

Philippines or maybe even punishable by breaking
your finger, so that you never ever attempt to try this
offensive gesture again. In Asian countries like Japan,
