You know, I keep seeing the "ok sign is actually insulting in Brazil!!" in travel guides all the time, but I have never, ever seen any Brazilians use it as an insult, or take it as an insult for that matter.
When Brazilians want to insult each other they use middle fingers like 99% of the time, the remaining 1% being the "banana" sign.
However, we don't use the "OK" symbol much at all. The most common way to express "OK" is with a thumbs-up.
