There is a Korean pop (K-Pop) music band called Twenty-One. Apparently their little gang or "call" sign is some sort of crazy hand action.
The action is extending one's forefinger, middle finger and pinky finger, while keeping the ring finger down. This, if you try it, is called "The Shocker" and if you're a junior high boy, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
However, it's supposed to depict a "2" and a "1" for the band.
All my students were doing it in class yesterday. They have no idea what the hand action means. I kept trying to get their focus onto something else so they'd stop throwing the shocker around in the classroom while I was trying to teach them about adjectives.
I love that Korean children are incredibly innocent, but sometimes their innocence makes me blush.
