this may have been taught by that south african sign language interpeter during obamas speech at the mandela wake.

the twirling finger means what? screw you? or would that be the middle finger?

what is the correct way? please Irish, inquiring minds want to know.

Then again, I've never heard of such a signal. Maybe we should just move to ASL for everything we do

My association's softball trainer uses that downpointing circle signal to remind BU that the bases are now loaded and that PU ain't going anywhere. I think his using it just after a spectator hectoring question was only coincidence.

Since when (in softball anyway) does the PU not go anywhere with the bases loaded?

Oh, I don't know... I've had partners like that!

(But, then, they didn't go anywhere any other time, either!)
