Shaniqua Fingers

Shaniqua Fingers are usually given when something is proven, when one believes the other is wrong. Besides denial, they can be used in demands and confrontation. The action is open to all races, ethnicities and nationalities.

The gesture consists of a few steps:
1. Bring left hand up to right side of face, anywhere from 3-10 inches from your right eye.
2. Snap fingers there once.
3. Move left hand to left side.
4. Snap on left side.
5. Make a 'Z' pattern and return your left hand to the right side of your body, your left hand when completed with this step should be about 3-10 inches from your nipple.
6. The final step, you can return in a straight line to the left, or even go lower.

Shaniqua Fingers can also be done from right to left.

The name was randomly chosen to be Shaniqua, because it is a popular black name. Any name can be substituted for 'Shaniqua' For example, Lashaunda Fingers would also work, however, Shaniqua Fingers is the most popular and originally correct way.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
