part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

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.
