Excuse my ebonics. I will have to respectfully disagree with that statement. I believe it was more of a threat of a B***h slap. With an open backhand display, that is an indication of a threat for a backhanded “pimp style” slap. Because he is putting the hand close to his face, without having the arm cross over his body. It is exhibiting he intends to use the attack on someone, but not in the immediate area. To indicate an articulation of statement such as the “yo they stole dat from me” with hand gestures, you have to have a slightly curled hand, and the index finger pointed slightly more straight then the rest of the hand and thumb should be straight up. Be sure to avoid having your fingers tight with each other. The spacing between fingers exhibits a bigger hand and the illusion of power, as well avoids the image of being a poser or an imitator. (opps i didn’t notice the pic was gone… i got distracted by work when i was writing this … :stuck_out_tongue: )
