My band director does that. He flicks his wrist and then points his whole hand in your general direction and with a completely straight face says āboiā and then goes back to whatever he was doing. Itās kinda weird to see him do that considering heās like 25 and I havenāt seen anyone do that since I was in middle school but ngl itās pretty funny
Witness - "Yes officer, that man right there is the murderer"
Officer - "Look! The witness is actually pointing at themselves!!! Get them!!!!!"
Witness - *gets tackled and handcuffed*
The message is: talking shit and judging people says more about you than about the people you're "pointing" at.

What this is trying to say is that you shouldnāt blame people or point fingers at anyone or try to judge anyone when youāre probably not perfect either. Donāt be quick on judging others mistakes if youāve ever made mistakes of a similar kind.
āThat guy š *[points]* is the nicest man in the world. My best friend. I trust him 110%, with my life. He is the smartest, most handsome, bravest, kindest person Iāve ever met. He loves animals and volunteers at every nonprofit in town! He takes in every stray animal he meets and nurses them gently back to health!ā
ā⦠youāre not very humble, are you?ā
I've heard this so much, and it's so stupid. By this reasoning, if I called someone out some billionaire for being greedy and exploitative, then I, someone who is dirt poor and living in a crumbling and unsafe house because literally the only other option is homelessness, would be 3 times as greedy and exploitative as that billionaire.
OP doesnāt get itā¦not many in this generation do
It means: careful what you say as it likely applies 3fold to you
A simple lesson for you: donāt make fun of people for being ignorant because youāre ignorant as well
We all got it. I think most people on here were joking about how to get around it. No need to explain.
I have heard 2 people use this phrase almost religiously, and they were the most toxic people I ever met.
Is that the royal āweā as in just yourself? If not, itās really odd to try to speak on behalf of others š Iām sure at least one person thinks they understood coz they took a literal interpretation and would benefit from understanding the underlying message hereā¦
In your very first sentence you insult an entire generation (not sure which one; I'm older GenX, was that the one you wished to insult?)
Then in your third sentence you say "don't make fun of people for being ignorant..."
So which is it, champ? š
Youāre pointing a finger at me to say this, though, which means there are three more pointing back at you. That means when YOU point a finger at someone, there are nine fingers pointing back at you.
Oh so Iāve been sending a lot of people the wrong way when giving directions if I was only pointing 1/4 of the way I meant to. No wonder they kept walking in the opposite direction.
Itās not a terrible meme tbh it means projection, like if you point out a flaw in someone else itās bc you are insecure about that flaw in yourself
It's about the fact that if you can notice their is a problem, identify who created the problem then you should have probably just stepped up and solved the problem. Pointing fingers and blaming others doesn't solve problems.
So you should be ashamed of what you're doing, like in every "moral" lesson a boomer would ever give to you, I don't know just feel shame, feel a shame so heavy it would get you to the floor and stay there for the rest of your life and never learn a thing from anything you do.
Avoid pointing to someone because you will be pointed as well, not because it's bad at all.
Thatās why pointing all 5 fingers at someone else the best offensive strat
Then they have 8 and I only have 2, and majority wins so every time i argue with someone and we start pointing fingers, I point all of mine
Or when you point just nonchalantly point them 3 fingers to the side, get someone random involved. Or simply make a fist while pointing but tuck your fingers in, point through your hand. Lol
You are so sexy, bro š
With your thumb pointing to god
Bang š„
I like it because following this logic you would be complimenting Lucifer if you say it pointing your thumb to yourself.
That's why you use knife hands.š«²š«± That way you can point all the blame at the individual.
I imagine an older man gesturing in this manner to a car thatās been crashed while shouting at another man doing the same š¤£

Your band director sounds great.
Who thought this? Hitler?
Nah. Drill Sergeants.
Palm up, not palm down
Palm sideways
Palm up?? What in the hell
Please donāt do palm down in public
I use the wall technique, deflecting any blame that comes back. Just do the normal finger-pointing gesture but point the 3 fingers to the side
Index finger pointing 3 other form a fist
This guy US militaries
I like the cut of your jib.
*chop chop*
This is the way
Ahh yes. Thats why military uses the legendary knife hand. Cuz... no matter what you're wrong.
This guy gets it
Lol, the forst thing that came to my mind was space force. When steve carell said the same thing and it was accepted as a valid point.
In the military they use knife hands a lot.
Op is definitely a finger pointer
No way! I bet that's who you're āļø
I know you are but what am i?
im gay
This is getting tense
Remember now, 3 is pointing back at you
Think about it. Let that sink in.
And one is pointing at your buddy
"That's him officer!" "Oh, you're pointing at yourself with three fingers? You must be the killer! Get him!"
So that's why the Germans did that...
They pointed the sky
It's God fault
shouldnt have made the jews smh
\*Breaths in\* BOI \*that is how you properly point at someone disapointed\*

I understood it. Itās still dumb as shit
He probably understands, just doesn't care. Like most people these days
yeah but it's dumb no one points at someone like, "that guy is a fucker, he stinks" or even "that guy smells nice, i like him" it's dumb
Its ironic you're trying to say this since this quite literally is not a metaphor at all
I've been seeing this sub for three weeks now and I'm still not sure if these people are being serious or can't understand this stuff.
So point three fingers at others and one at yourself instead
Each finger at someone else, even. Scattershot approach
***UNLIMITED POINTING***
Spider-Man meme intensifies.
And stick your thumb straight up and then while facing your palm move your pinky finger away from the ring finger (it makes a dog face shadow puppet)
"oh well fuck you then im gonna point all fi-" and thats how i went to german prison
Finger myself?
What if I point all 5 at someone? Didn't think about THAT, did they?
Knife hands. Works every time.
And for double effect, you can do: *Inhales* BOY
From the folks that brought you ānuh-uhā
Try fisting?

Yes.

Don't point, slaps.

Ok ill from now on just point with all my fingers out
Theyāre technically not pointing but facing. Point would require some force of action.
To quote the late Wimp Lo: *The finger points!*
Who says that i couldnt rotate my wrist and point the other finger to the person i am pointing?
Knife hand for the win.
š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»š¤š»š¤š» with all 5 fingers

Ugh my friend used to say this shit all the time and thought it was "deep"
š¤
I was taught this exact rule in kindergarten catholic class
Just act like youāre using the force
Use the Nazi sign
This is why giving directions is so terribly confusing
Alright then, Sieg Heil! š¤š»
Youāre pointing a finger at me to say this, though, which means there are three more pointing back at you. That means when YOU point a finger at someone, there are nine fingers pointing back at you.
Where does the thumb go?
Technically 2 fingers are pointing away
Is this not an expression youāre familiar with?
I used to have a friend who used this expression often. It's one of the few things I don't miss about her
That's why I point with a rapier. Have at you!
Donāt worry when theyāre in your palm, theyāre deactivated.
Feels more like a r/dadjokes
Mine point towards my palm.
Conclusion: Do the Iwata Nintendo Direct gesture

Zieg heil
No. There isn't. I use knife hands.
(Inhales) **BOI** Classic meme
My fingers are clenched into my palm when I point with my finger. This means they're pointing to the side. Lol
Just š¤
What about that thumb? It's pointing at someone's crotch, right?
Mindblown!
Point is look at yourself before you judge others. Itās good advice. I wouldnāt call this a terrible Facebook meme
Source?
What if i point like Van Ziekes from Great Ace Attorney?
Thatās not how people point
That's why I extend all my fingers at people and wiggle them threateningly like a spooky witch.
Thatās why you Hitler salute them instead
*Your soul is mine!*
Man pulled out the elementary facs
Oh so Iāve been sending a lot of people the wrong way when giving directions if I was only pointing 1/4 of the way I meant to. No wonder they kept walking in the opposite direction.
When I point at someone and say they are cool I'm also pointing af myself and saying I'm 3x cooler then they are š
LOL. If someone posted this unironically I really would cringe hard af.
Itās not a terrible meme tbh it means projection, like if you point out a flaw in someone else itās bc you are insecure about that flaw in yourself
Yeah but pointing with all fingers is kinda worseā¦
3 deep 4 me
I actually bend my fingers to where if Iām pointing with my left hand, those fingers are pointing left. Jokes on you boomer hahhahaha
I really like this subreddit , really entertains me with such *terr..* , no ~~good~~ messages XD
Yeah but no one ever goes, "uh which way is the deli again?. That way š or up your sleeve?"
Then point the whole hand, problem?
So if I finger my gf then Iām get triple the pleasure back? Count me in
Ah, yes, latin american superstition, my old enemy
What do you think the hatchet is for?
[Damn...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voDLatAzMjE&ab_channel=LukeCorreia)
Extend your hand as if you're going to do a handshake. The thumb is ppointing to god as an extra bonus, so at that point it can't be your fault.
I knew a guy who would point with his whole hand for this exact reason
Well if I point all five then Iām called a nazi
They used to tell us this in primary school because 'pointing is rude' lol
Me, pointing: You're a piece of shit The person: well there's three fingers pointing back at you soo... Me: yeah, I KNOW
That's how a hand works yes
Itās about Republicans
Liberals*
wrong math , you point 2 fingers at someone
Not with the Deutscher GruĆ
so really you should add 180 degrees in all directions to point the real right way
But if you use your finger guns then they have three fingers pointing at them
It's about the fact that if you can notice their is a problem, identify who created the problem then you should have probably just stepped up and solved the problem. Pointing fingers and blaming others doesn't solve problems.
Thatās why you always point with knife-hands. Also three fingers point to you, and the last one points to your buddy.
Knife hand all day
I have 5 pointing at me shaming me for masturbating.
So you should be ashamed of what you're doing, like in every "moral" lesson a boomer would ever give to you, I don't know just feel shame, feel a shame so heavy it would get you to the floor and stay there for the rest of your life and never learn a thing from anything you do.

am i meant to just jab my hand at them?
That's when you hit them with the boi hand, all fingers are pointing at them
r/im14andthisisdeep
And a thumb pointing at that guy just a hair to the side of the original pointee.
but the thumb is thicker and also pointing at the same side so it balances it out.
Me hitting them with one of these š
I feel stupid I never understood that saying until now. I always just thought it ment other people where blaming you.
Thatās why pointing all 5 fingers at someone else the best offensive strat Then they have 8 and I only have 2, and majority wins so every time i argue with someone and we start pointing fingers, I point all of mine

Not if you do a Disney cast member point...

Well thereās actually 2 fingers outward
