Thumbs up gesture difference
When we want to praise someone, we always use thumbs up gesture to them. Thumbs up means you did the good job in United States and many other countries, but this is not a good meaning in Greece. I have a classmate from Greece, and he is a very good student. Our teacher always thumbs up to him. He was very upset for that,he told me because in Greece this mean “Up yours” Similar with the slang “go to hell”. So never do this gesture when you go to Greece.
Very interesting. Lu posts the same gesture but she didn’t mention Greece. But your points are similar. Thumbs up could have a totally different meaning in some culture.
LOL. I also post thumbs up gesture too! I wrote about thumbs up meanings in Australia and German. Good to know what is the situation in Greece. If I go visit Greece, I will definitely not doing this gesture.
