Here's a good site I found lately for Spanish slang:

http://www.languagerealm.com/spanish/spanishslang.php

I looked on the English page under "W" but it seemed to be missing an entry!

will clearly come as a surprise to you, and finally, this hand gesture to signify that everything is fantastic is exclusive to just the south. Still, it was the Guardian, not exactly famous for getting things right!!!!!


And tell the truth, now you know................. Fer & Los Angeles de Charlie?????????

Wikipedia will explain it to you, although the finger positions are slightly different. ;-))

But this gesture is different to the one i was talking about. Have you ever put, when you were a boy, the forefinger and the thumb of each hand in your eyes as if you were wearing glasses? well, its the same but just with one hand, only these two fingers making a kind of circle.
The other, the gesture that express "masturbarse", is using all the fingers and its the same in Spanish and of course, its rude.
If someone is going to make a mistake its better not to use it but, as its so different one to the other, i said that could be done without problem.

Lol, you maybe right, but the thumb and finger are not round the eye, more like round an imaginary wotsit.
