* a note by Natasha :
In different places this sign has different meanings.
In Russia and Finland the meaning of this expression is "awesome", "good", or "well done".
"Thumbs up" traditionally translates as the foulest of gesticular insults in some Middle Eastern countries — the most straightforward interpretation is 'Up yours, pal!"
In Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, and Thailand it is traditionally an obscene gesture, equivalent to the use of the middle finger in the Western world.
In Japanese sign language, the thumbs-up indicates a man, or male gender as opposed to an extended pinky indicating female.
