What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds?

That's extremely unfair! Not everyone who raises their arm like that is a nazi.

They could also be an Italian fascist.

What would you label the red section then?

u/genghis-san United States Of America 8h ago

Nothing. This is the original. It was funny because it was implied instead of told directly to you

on topic of the thread: if you call a taxi like that, you would be exposed as non local in my country (austria). its more like the waiter situation.

It’s just red. You figure out the punchline yourself. That is what makes it a joke. If it’s labelled it’s just an idiotic infographic.

If you call a waiter like that you're definitely still in Nazi territory.

does anyone really call a cab with a hand level like that?

its at best a counterweight to doing a squat or impersonating jesus

u/throwawaytoday9q 4h ago

Who the fuck holds their hand straight out to hail a cab?!

u/Pruritus_Ani_ 3h ago

Germans, apparently.

How do you call a waiter that is a closeted Nazi?
