The International Douchebag Symbol

July 23, 2006 2:47 AM

ne time, in college, my friend Frank tried to make some sort of gang symbol with his hands. It was a huge failure. So, I took a shot, and thus was born the International Douchebag Symbol.

Let's say you're sitting around at a bar, surrounded by your best friends, when, all of a sudden, you see a giant douchebag walk past. You want to point the douchebag out to your friends, but you can't say "douchebag" because the the guy would hear you and get hurt and shit. Or let's say you're at a bar with your female friend, and she's getting hit on by someone she loathes. But you don't know that, so how can you know to intervene?

The fact of the matter is that there are a million different situations in which a secret way to alert those in the know that there are douchebags afoot. But how can you do that, without letting on to the douchebags that you are on to their douchebaggery?

The International Douchebag Symbol is your answer!

When I first invented the IDS, I was committed to spreading it across the country and, eventually, the world. But, somehow, when I started this blog, I completely forgot about it. Not anymore! A conversation at a bar tonight, sparked by the immediately preceding post, brought to the fore my continuing need to spread the International Douchebag Symbol. Here, now, for your enjoyment, the IDS:

First, take your right hand and make a classic gun shame with it, with two fingers comprising the barrel of the gun and the other two fingers touching your palm, with your thum at a right angle to the barrel of your gun, as in this picture:

Next, take your left hand and spread the fingers out naturally, again with your thumbs at a right angle to your fingers, as in this picture:

Then, interlock the two hands with the webbing between your thumbs touching and the left hand on top, as in this picture:

Voila! The International Douchebag Symbol. Tell your friends!

of course you are probably familiar with the international symbol for letting everyone know that you're a douchebag; the von dutch trucker hat.
