Y'know how when people are posing for a snapshot, there's always one wise guy who puts two fingers over the head of someone else?

What's that mean?

I've heard that referred to as "rabbit ears". I don't know what else it means.

I keep remembering kids on the playground flashing two fingers over kids' heads like 2 4 6 8, and whatever number they got to was supposed to be the number of girlfriends the victim had. (I think this was supposed to be shameful in some way.)

But wait, those kids weren't sitting for photographs. I guess it was just something they did all the time.

I grew up in the Twilight Zone.

Screw "rabbit ears" when you can just give the dude taking the picture The Bird.

That's where it's at, yo.

I like to give myself bunny ears.
Not just in pictures, though.
I like to do it while co-workers are trying to explain technical or pertinent information.
I'm really mature.

You're positively Subversive! ;)

I've heard it described in midcentury literature as "cuckold's horns," for what that's worth . . .

Oh yeah! I didn't even think of that. Der.
