Morgan asked my opinion about a Christmas present for Liz, so I was googling about and discovered that there are a ton of people out there who, for one reason or another, think that the sign for "bullshit" actually means "good luck."

...

I just don't have words.

Cultural appropriation, for the LOSE.

Huh...any chance this is referring to another culture? Not another sign language, but just something along the lines of the hamsa?

It's not impossible, but given that all the examples I've seen have been American sellers, it's not likely.

The two examples you've shown me have both been reselling JewelryWeb...the dumbfuckery obviously originates there.

Hmm. Here's another one that seems original, and doesn't label it as a good luck charm... http://www.classic-charms.com/lestage-3-d-sign-language-charm.html?cmp=googleproducts&kw=lestage-3-d-sign-language-charm&gclid=CMP0vuOI_asCFUYBQAodoXnMjw
