4 fingers up

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A hand gesture symbolizing allegiance to the number 4, stripped of all the elaborate meanings the internet tried to assign it. In its purest form, it's just literally representing the number four with your fingers—though good luck convincing anyone online that it doesn't mean seventeen other things. The mathematical middle finger to overanalyzed hand signs.

Example Usage

"Why's everyone holding 4 fingers up in their grad photos?" "It's representing their four years of high school, genius."
