Trivia time:
What gets called "metal horns" in the USA, is called "cornuto" in Italian. To the Italians, it is used in reference to a guy whose woman is unfaithful to him. The wronged man supposedly would get devil horns in a bitter fit of jealousy.

"Hang ten" or "shaka" in Italy is either a drinking reference (you hold your thumb to your mouth and tilt your head back bottoms up wise) or a sign for a telephone (put your thumb next to your ear, and your pinky next to your mouth).

Thanks for the info, that’s really cool!

I didnt know the unfaithful one! But aren't the bottle and telephone signs done everywhere? I've def seen people do those here in canada and in american tv as well. I think they're a bit different from the first because they're literally just miming, whereas the devil horns one is an abstract sign with a meaning only partially hinted at by the signal itself.

It's also used in some places to ward off the Evil Eye. It became the "metal sign" via Ronnie James Dio, who got it from his Italian grandmother and used it onstage a lot.
