Is a "thumbs-up" a rude gesture in Italy? |
When in Rome . . . it's hard not to use hand gestures, especially when you don't have a good command of the language. I got in the habit of showing a "thumbs-up" sign to mean "yes" or "that's good." But somebody told me later that thumbs-up is akin to flipping the middle finger here. True? Is there some other hidden meaning to a thumbs-up in Italy? |

The thumbs up hidden meaning doesnt exist anymore, however at one time it was the same as "up yours" people have since forgotten about that. Having lived in Italy for a while now, I notice that many Italians also use the thumbs up. Its just a good gesture to show you understand or yes. Get this, if you use your thumb (usually the index finger but people will understand) and flik your ear, while looking at someone else, basically you are calling the person you looked at or pointed to a homosexual. Thats the only thing I can think of that would make people see that... however thats not the case. |

I don't think thumbs up is considered a rude gesture. The Romans used the thumbs down gesture to indicate dissatisfaction back in the days of the gladiators. The link below describes other interesting rude gestures from around the world including italy. |
