Is Buddy Giving Two Up Yours or Two Thumbs Up? You Be The Judge

Luke Morris by Luke Morris

So yeah.

Do a double take.

It totally looks like Buddy is giving a middle finger on first look.

Giving a duel ‘Up yours’ to passing traffic, which totally makes sense.

Passing traffic can right get stuffed.

They should be stopping and having a chicken sub.

Love a fresh chicken sub from Buddy.

So good.

Mayo, fresh chicken and stuffing.

Yum.

Sure, the sign up close looks like two thumbs, which in parts of Mexico is even worse than a single digit salute.

Did you know that in ancient Rome, gladiators would fight and the judge of a match would give a thumb up to denote that someone should die?

True story.

Many people think the thumb up is a symbol of good work, and staying alive, but that is not true.

The thumb up was to resemble a sword sticking in the air ready for use – aka kill, and a thumb tucked into the fist was to show a sword placed into its sheath and not to be used – aka live.

Movies changed the meaning because the thumb up looks more dramatic.

Anyway, the Buddy sign tots looks like it is telling everyone to bugger off.
