    Inverted "OK" fingers placed, palms in, against the face circling the eye sockets instructed the server to scrape dried birdshit over the bread basket.

    That's more subtle than my preferred "making a jack-off motion with one hand while rolling my eyes" sign.

    Two fingers in a downward V bounced twice means "asshole is crowding the plate; pitch him high, fast, and tight".


    Oh... sorry. Thought this was Deadspin.

    @Sandy Magic Jackson:
    Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

    Forming a V with his middle and index finger, sticking his tongue between the two fingers, and then flicking said tongue meant that the next round of drinks were on the house -- but the drinks were to be poisoned.

    At my local, the proprietor generally signals that you're not welcome by backhanding you with a Louisville Slugger.

    Never has the 1950s seemed more unglamorously artificial.


    P.S. A finger up the asshole means "these patrons only pay 45% this time, and they get four free maraschino cherries in a small box with a mouse".

    Have you checked out "A Continuous Lean"? It's one long jerk-off to pasty-white 50s WASP revivalism.

    The mobbed-up joint where I waitressed during college had this kind of thing; every place does to a degree. Once my boss was scratching his head and I didn't know what he wanted. When I asked him, he just said, "Damn dandruff shampoo!"
