4. High five.

Just about everybody has given somebody a high five at one point or another in their life. It's believed that the roots of the high five go back to the Jazz era in the early 20th century.

At the time black musicians would say, Hello! by giving skin and then changed it to a handshake gesture called a Dap.

In the 1970s, college basketball players would raise their arms above their heads after they would do something good and slap hands. It was then that they started calling it a high five

There are few other stories about how and where the term high five came from. Some say that it was two players during an LA Dodgers game and another story says that a man named Lamont fleets father started to high-five with one of his army buddies. The gesture became so popular that students named every third Thursday in April National High Five Day.

3. The Pledge of Allegiance symbol

Children today say the pledge of Allegiance with their hand over their heart. That wasn't always the case though. Originally, the Bellamy salute was used.

When the Pledge of Allegiance was first written in 1892, the right hand would be held at the brown similar to the military salute.

When the speech got to the part that said "to my flag" the arm would then be extended out to point to the flag with the palm facing up. The arm would remain that way for the rest of the Pledge.

Over the years, points of the Bellamy salute fell out of use. First, the military salute was abandoned, it left just the arm extended straight. The last part of the salute was changed when America got involved in war. Secondly, the solute looked too much like the one used by Hitler and Mussolini in 1942.

President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law making putting the hand over the heart the official Pledge of Allegiance flag code.

2. The corna

The corna is when only your index finger and your pinky are pointing up and you hold the rest of your fingers down with your thumb behind your palm. This gesture means different things in different places.

If you flash the sign to a man in Italy or Spain, it means that you're sleeping with his wife behind his back. If you point this sign to somebody you don't like it means that you are warding off the evil eye.

If you hold up the sign and then twist your wrist back and forth and South America, it is similar to To the American Superstition knock on wood. The sign also is used by fans of the University of Texas. They call it Hook em Horns.

It was started in 1955 by a student named Harley Clark to represent the school mascot. Finally, it's also a pretty common symbol flashed during heavy metal rock concerts.

1. The Shaka sign

The Shaka sign is when you fold your three middle fingers down while holding your thumb and pinky out, next you twist your hand around.

It's a strange gesture, however if you go to Hawaii, you will see this gesture a lot there. It means hello, goodbye, have a nice day, take it easy, good luck or the most popular "Hang loose".


While it is popular gesture in Hawaii, the origin of the gesture is a bit vague. The story goes back to when Spanish sailors first landed on the Hawaiian islands and they didn't speak the language. The Spanish would try to offer the Hawaiians a drink by mimicking a bottle in their hand. They often did that; the Spanish began assuming that they were saying hello.

It's also believed that the gesture was started by a beloved local named Hamana Kalili in the 20th century. Khalili had lost his three middle fingers. Nobody knows for sure how he lost his fingers or if he even started the gesture. Even the name Shaka is strange because it's not a Hawaiian word.

5. See-through leggings or a top used as a dress when you are out in public is a hell-to-the-no!

Romance / How Long Do Women Want Intercourse To Last? by rasheylaw(m): 10:21pm On Jul 24, 2020
Ahh, the age-old question – how long should intercourse last? Or better yet, how long do women want for intercourse to last?

This is a vital question that comes to every man’s mind ever so often.

And, believe it or not, this is one of the most frequently googled questions by men and it is approximately 65,000 times a month to be exact.

That’s certainly a big number and for that reason, it would be a shame for us to leave it unanswered.


The most important thing to know is, luckily, you don’t need to worry about the actual duration of s*x, Most people don’t like it marathon and women are part of them.

But, before we venture any further, you need to know a thing or two about the bedroom fantasies girls are silent about.

Now, let’s take a look at what research says about this topic.

Scientists have researched s&xual stamina and found a large gap between how long s$x lasts and how long people would like it to last.

A study of 500 couples worldwide proved that the average s$xual intercourse lasts only 5.4 minutes – with or without a condom.


However, proved by a more recent study, most s$x therapists agree that s$x should last between 7 and 13 minutes.

Many men are bothered by the idea of ​​having short s$x but the most important thing is that extra-long s$x is not what most women want.

It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.

Most women say they would prefer to spend extra time on pre-intimacy, which is a much greater predictor of a female orgasm than long-lasting s$x.

Fact is women need longer pre-intimacy than men, but that doesn’t mean you need to leave her without sleep and make her feel tired the next day instead of refreshed and satisfied.


However long it lasts, the most important thing is to make her feel wanted and special. And if you need a little bit more help, then check out these dating and relationship tips and tricks.

Believe us, this way you will achieve more in 3 minutes than you would in 3 hours of average intercourse.
