A sign placed near to wet paint to tell people that they must touch the wet paint just to make sure it isn't dry.
Sensible Person: "Oh look, a wet paint sign"
Everyone else: "I'll test to see if it's still wet" *touches the paint and gets it on finger*

A now discarded term in medicine, in which the direction of th flaccid penis on Xray points away from the area of injury. If the reverse were true, it was referred to as the Throckmorton Sign. In other words, a 50/50 useless distinction.

Just like anybody can deliver a speech about peace, anybody can do a peace sign with their fingers (or a fist pound, or an elbow bump) and it means nothing, because it doesn't signal anyone's true intentions.
A lot of people want someone to think a peace sign means something about someone's true intentions. If a guy made a gun gesture with his hand every time he intended to shoot you every time he planned on doing it, there wouldn't be as many unsuspecting deaths by gunshot wounds. At least somebody would see it coming before they died if the guy who made the gun gesture was telling the truth.

Refers to any posted prohibitory notice that causes its readers to want to perform said verboten activity (smoking, alcoholic-beverage consuming, biking/scootering/skateboarding, sports-playing, loitering, littering, honking, etc.) all the more.
If you wanna practically guarantee a significant uptick in some disruptive/destructive activity, just put up "No ____ing" signs, and then watch everybody and his brother start doing it!!!!
