Flipping the horns. 

It’s over.

Flipping the horns is the new ‘inverted commas’ of drunken hand signals. It’s lost any of the meaning it used to carry when people actually feared the Devil (Capital ‘D’) or rock music or youthful rebellion and has become a hackneyed cliché suitable for any photo-moment - Barbecue at your Brother-in-Law’s? Horns. Baby Shower at your sister’s? Horns. Passed your Bar Exam? Horns. Graduated Med School? Horns! 

If you’re drunkenly extending your tongue at the same time, that’s pretty much the atomic bomb of ‘flipping the horns’.  

Quit the horns and just flip the bird.

Unless of course, you’re about to tell Sister Mary McGinty in Convent School that Satan ate your homework and made you pregnant.

*Disclaimer* I Don’t know any of the featured horn throwers, they turned up after a couple seconds-worth of a Google image search for ‘Horns’.
