Roula and Rosie dive into the weird and wonderful world of hand gestures — from what they mean across different cultures to why Roula just can’t bring herself to flip the bird.
They explore how something as simple as a thumbs up can shift from friendly to passive-aggressive, why some cultures speak with their hands while others barely move them, and the hilarious cultural misunderstandings that come with it. Roula even shares why the middle finger feels “off” to her and how she’s replaced it with a more empowering gesture: the peace sign (or, as she jokes, the “vagina” sign).
