10 Ways You've Been Accidentally Insulting People Every Day

10. The OK Sign

The OK sign is the one where you put your index finger and your thumb together making an 'O' shape, with the three left over fingers sticking out. You might think you are saying, "I am doing great!" or "Everything is A-OK!" but be careful where you flash this one around.

If you happen to be in France, you are telling the person that they are worthless. This can be explained by the fact that the circle you are forming with your fingers represents the number 0 - in other words, nothing. Ouch.

In Venezuela and Brazil, this gesture is meant to represent a concealed body part, and is also considered a homophobic insult in Turkey. The circle that you form with your fingers in these places represents an obvious area in the lower regions of our bodies and the interpretation of whether you are calling someone an a-hole or being homophobic is up to the context.
