Circle Trick?

Post by SpaceCanada »

Pardon my ignorance, as Smiley was not a counsellor when I went to camp, but what is this circle trick everyone keeps mentioning in past posts?

In photos I see some people holding two fingers in a circle, but what's the significance of that? What's the trick?

Stupid or not, everyone says it is funny. So what is it? It cannot be that bad, can it?

While I was at camp we had this huge thing about cubes of cheese; it left us in tears from laughing every night at supper. I don't think anything could be quite as stupid as that!

You make that circle with the thumb and index finger and extend the other three fingers. Then, you hold it below your waist and if someone looks at it, you punch them. I've heard different interpretations of what the circle means, but they're all pretty bad.

I think we had something similar at one of my former summer camps. Although, it was not nearly as violent. We merely pinched the other individual as opposed to punching them!

Thanks for the explanation Benji!
