The West Coast Sign

I live in San Francisco and so I see a lot of friends posing in pictures flashing the West Coast Sign on Facebook. You know, that hand sign that Tupac was always throwing up back in the day. It’s a sign of pride, a symbol that you’re proud to be from the west coast. It’s a simple gesture, but an alarming number of people don’t know how to do it correctly. If you’re looking at the back of the hand, the ring finger should be over the middle finger. That’s how Tupac did it and that’s how it’s supposed to be. Most of the posers that you see on Facebook have the middle finger over the ring finger. That means “Wannabe” not “West Coast.” It almost looks the same, but it’s wrong. And you don’t look cool if you’re wrong, you look like a fucking tool.
