joeydevilla.com — Joey deVilla saw an illustration of Gang Signs of Los Angeles and thought "Why should gangsta have all the fun?" So he hacked together a list of gang signs … for geeks!

  • ALyken, on 05/30/2008, -32/+7Made me chuckle
    • FuckThaMeme, on 05/31/2008, -6/+14 msaleem submitted articles on the front page?

      FFS...
    • Dylson, on 05/31/2008, -5/+1lololololloploploplollo090loloplop111!!!
  • drfantastico, on 05/30/2008, -27/+4Nice, me likey.
  • cjacks9, on 05/30/2008, -21/+7My geekdom isn't what it used to be. Dugg.
  • Shabow, on 05/30/2008, -16/+7Why does Vista have the "OK" sign?
    • faceless323, on 05/30/2008, -1/+6it's not the OK sign. the thumb and index finger do not meet.
      • Tiak, on 05/31/2008, -1/+3Also, the three fingers are straight, not bent, it's rather difficult for me to use that sign without it hurting a bit, which I find to be absolutely appropriate.

        My left hand can't run Vista or Quake at all.
    • killscreenes, on 05/31/2008, -2/+9Because the middle finger was already taken.
    • rolosworld, on 05/31/2008, -1/+2its not an OK, its a broken index finger... makes perfect sense
    • uhhNo, on 05/31/2008, -1/+5I can't tell what half of those "symbols" are... it's like they just put random hand signs with some computer-related terms below them
    • windandstorm, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1I think you are mistaken, you are looking at apple.
  • WaxenPith, on 05/30/2008, -47/+5Too bad none of you ***** could get away with throwing those up IRL.
    • rpong1981, on 05/30/2008, -1/+9I throw those gang signs up in my cubicle all the time. what are you talking about?

      I usually use "i 187 IE"
    • cvxdes1, on 05/31/2008, -1/+11I see you're a true OG, homie. Honestly, I don't see the point of comments like that.
    • WaxenPith, on 05/31/2008, -7/+1::sarcasm::
      • lamiaconfitor, on 05/31/2008, -1/+8Byatch, you cant just pretend. Fake ass ho... noticed you want getting dugg so you say its a joke. f@ck you.
    • FuckThaMeme, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10NWA - Nerds With Attitude
    • enki25, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2You could though, couldn't you *****?
    • ChromeWalnut, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2troll successful
  • minnymoo, on 05/30/2008, -10/+87i just got shot by a fellow geek.
    • blorguehad, on 05/31/2008, -1/+19DRIVE-BY DOWNLOADS!!!
      • vickers500, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3I know how you feel, my brother was killed in a wardriving incident last year.
    • schrankage, on 05/31/2008, -1/+16straight outta cambridge, crazy motha ***** on an apple cube

      bitch i'll upload a cap in yo ass
      • Ultramagnus0001, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1these geek on geek crimes has GOTTA stop
    • Mier, on 05/31/2008, -1/+8MC Hawking - All my shootins be drivebys
  • rpong1981, on 05/30/2008, -9/+3Forgot to include "187 IE"
  • aflaks, on 05/30/2008, -9/+464not hilarious, just some made up hand signs that mean nothing to anyone.
    • LordofChaosIori, on 05/31/2008, -2/+123On the contrary, if you bust these in the wrong part of LA they'll mean the end of your life.
    • oxilite, on 05/31/2008, -1/+39Neither hilarious nor awesome.
    • albinoMithos, on 05/31/2008, -2/+8Yeah some of those gang signs are real.
      • adbo, on 05/31/2008, -1/+8If you click the image, you will see that he ripped off a chart of real gang signs.
      • sovereign3, on 05/31/2008, -3/+2I can tell you that the first one is certainly real. Do that one and you'll find yourself in trouble with a REAL Crip!
    • slaizer, on 05/31/2008, -8/+20Buried as lame. I mean, if they were somehow relevant it might be funny (as in, the Blood sign forms the letters B,L,O,O,D and Westcoast the letters W and C), but the guy didn't even bother to make most of them have an actual connection to anything.

      Why is Quake Engine the letters CK? Linus Torvalds K? Blub is BLOOD?

      This is gay.
      • Kelgari, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1the quake engine sign isn't supposed to be ck, it looks more like it's supposed to be the greek letter psi which is used as the symbol for the quake series.
    • doob10163, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3http://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/up ...
    • had3l, on 05/31/2008, -2/+15Only msaleem or MrBabyMan would be able to get this crap in the top topics.
    • Necrid21, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2REAL geek gang signs: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/1472/seals4dw.jpg
    • NotOptium, on 05/31/2008, -1/+9How does this have 900+ diggs when every comment is saying the same thing: this sucks?

      I hate you msaleem. I thought "6 Dream Jobs Every Guy Wants" was bad, but now you post this?
    • theword12, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3Incredibly lame. He didn't even have the imagination to draw his own gang signs...all he did was rename them.
    • Zuljin, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1It's always funny to see a comment deriding a heavily-dugg article be also heavily dugg.
    • DarkDx, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2Did you see the quake engine one? Looks like the quake logo. hehe
  • georgemason01, on 05/31/2008, -9/+3Leah Culver's sign is the Luciferian hand signal. Beware.
    • i1chocolat, on 05/31/2008, -3/+1And the middle finger sign is sure gonna get you in trouble .
      Like, d'uh ..
    • ECas123, on 05/31/2008, -4/+2Power of Christ compels you, bitch.
    • Tiak, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1Not exactly, the thumb is up.
  • crazyjake, on 05/31/2008, -10/+239i tried and tried to like this, but just couldn't. i am a Geek, I'll admit this, and i definitely get the concept, but the execution was poor and a good concept was trashed. please someone come up with a better version!!

    (here come the wannabee geeks to digg me down for expressing opposition to a poorly done representation of a part of society they are trying desperately hard to fit in to.)
    • Tiak, on 05/31/2008, -2/+16Dugg because with your new mad geek street cred, I hoped some would rub off on me if people knew I was digging you.
      • groumpf, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2I tried and tried to like this, but just couldn't: there is no sign for the ML gang.
    • pilot101, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2I mean one universal one is the the vulcan sign \//, how could u say its a list of geek signs and not have that?
      • adbo, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2because the vulcan sign wasn't on the chart he ripped off
    • cassarani, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2I felt EXACTLY the same way. I thought the concept was brilliant but the execution lame at best.
    • FrasoFTW, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0they completely left out the right hand rule... how can you have a geek gang sign compilation without the RHR!?

  • insaincain02, on 05/31/2008, -8/+1that guy should be on the simpsons........
  • choobah, on 05/31/2008, -8/+0Wait. I think this list is incomplete. Where is the sign for 'just got laid'?
    • mikesbaker, on 05/31/2008, -2/+3when you need one we will let you know
    • johndajap56, on 05/31/2008, -2/+2Ya i don't think you'll be needing that sign anytime soon
    • choobah, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0That was the joke guys. I always thought the '/sarcasm' thing was retarded. You two just proved me wrong.
      • mikesbaker, on 06/01/2008, -0/+1no the /sarcasm thing is retarded - much like your comment
  • UltramegaOK, on 05/31/2008, -12/+5Why is the character portrayed as a black male?
    • saltydawkins, on 05/31/2008, -0/+29Because the creator couldn't be bothered to at least redraw the original.

      http://www.joeydevilla.com/2008/05/28/gang-signs-o ...
      • uhhNo, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1it makes so much more sense now, but it still sucks
      • jhai, on 05/31/2008, -1/+0Nice job!

        Thanks for linking us
        • Daniel0, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2Why is it a nice job? He is just reading... It says right below the image: "Click the image to see the original version."
    • eliburford, on 05/31/2008, -0/+0Well, I'm guessing the person that stole the original image did a google image search for nerd/geek and came up with a character from the Simpsons.
  • IceRaptor, on 05/31/2008, -8/+59lame.
  • presidentjapan, on 05/31/2008, -10/+6Mirror, it ran slow for me: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/489/geekgangsigns ...

    • xXIrsotehkewlXx, on 05/31/2008, -8/+3Those are my favorite kind of Nerds ^_^
  • RedneckRandy, on 05/31/2008, -8/+2They left out the closed grip hand signal that means masturbation
  • FasmTrout, on 05/31/2008, -10/+10I know I'm not the only one who just mimicked all of those.
    • rodrigo74, on 05/31/2008, -2/+25 hours gone, still +1..looks like you are.
  • ECas123, on 05/31/2008, -4/+4Kickin' it ol' school- http://is.gd/ozE

  • snareguy17, on 05/31/2008, -1/+3That black guy I flashed Windows (old school) to earlier definitely wasn't a geek.
  • qbthemc, on 05/31/2008, -0/+0Therefore, this is what geeks do outside of WOW. This is Interesting.
  • Tossrock, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3I really wanted the right hand rule to be in there
  • lofi, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3"blub" is actually a real gang sign for "blood" ... look at it, it doesn't even look like blub! be careful before you start showing that one off

  • IceSabre, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Funniest thing I found here was clicking the link for the original gang signs, then clicking the "mexican gangs" shopping link.... and see a google ad page with an ad from shopping.yahoo.com selling mexican gangs. What can you not buy on the internets now?
  • KragTheDigger, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1Odd. I think there was an article about 'gang signs' on the last issue of 2600. Wonder if this is a ripple of that.
  • IntellEJent, on 05/31/2008, -0/+1According to Wired, there's an Engadget gang sign:

    "Then he throws up three fingers twisted into the shape of an E, the Engadget gang sign."
