| I ♥ U | Devil's Horns |
| This is the American sign language for I love you. It combines the hand shapes for I, L and Y into one. | This handsign represents the head of goat in ancient paganism, which in turn symbolizes the devil (said to be half-man, half-goat). This gesture is used by heavy metal and rock music in the 70s to convey the dark roots of the music. Now, many punk rockers use this gesture to represent 'rock on', without knowing the meaning of this handsign. Here's an interesting article to read. |
