Yeah, also learned that a few weeks ago. I've used that with kids for the better part of my life. And the Pommesgabel (Sign of Horns, the metal music hand gesture) which I guess should be done correctly now, or it could be mistaken, too. Like when you're drunk and not in full control of your fingers. You wouldn't want to become a turkish far-right extremist by accident.

Guess you can’t host your game night in German schools anymore.
