If you google or go on etsy and type in Italian hand gestures you will see it. Also my husband is "100 percent italian," and not offended by my post.

Sorry, i just couldn't think of what to call it, she always does it, it makes me crazy.

Its hard to know what is offensive today, people are so sensitive.

Lol...yes, too much. We used to laugh at ourselves and all our "stereotypes", they became stereotypes because it really did apply to a bulk of whatever group. And it used to be a lighthearted poking fun at all our quirks, ethnic differences. Not anymore. Everything is not only an insult but a fight. And we've become a humorless culture over all of it. Not talking about bullying here, it's a thing, it's terrible, and due to many things maybe worse than ever.. But...we also always could tell the difference! Not now...no one is thinking for themselves, not teaching our kids to either.  

All that aside...I'm Italian I'm not insulted at all! I was perplexed however. Did you mean this: 🤌 lol? "on one heel" no less? ha, clue me in. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

I used to really like her, she has been around a long time, now i just can't watch her anymore. Its always the same way she stands and holds her hand. maybe she should't wear heels. But she is pretty, it's funny how little things can bother you after time.....

I have experienced things said about the Italian heritage that would be viewed sooo negative if describing people of different backgrounds, race, etc  Just coming from personal experience.  Just because you can look something up on line doesn't mean it is not offensive  You may not be offended but I was and the poster apologized which I appreciate.

@Kachina624  OK I was curious and went and looked and It is different and became my focus, not the product.

Made me think of other things that hosts do to distract me.  #1 is glasses worn by a host.  Wonder wnat others find distracting?

I was resonding to a " Mr Sour" who wondered what other people find distracting that the hosts do, didn't mean to cause such a stir.

But back to manicures...
