Does this look obscene?

Does the lit up button seem to look a bit obscene to you?

Andyross No, not in the slightest.

Tradition says that to cover the lady’s embarrassment King Edward picked up the garter, and with the words, ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’, (roughly translated as ‘shame on anyone who thinks evil of this’), buckled it on to his own leg. The phrase remains the motto of the Order.

Why should a pointing index finger look ‘obscene’?

The American rude gesture requires the middle finger.

Guy54435

dave Yes and it only requires one middle finger, but to let them know how you really feel, show them two middle fingers.

It looks symbolic.

Actually, it did look obscene to me at first glance.

Looking at it longer, I was a little confused as, it does not seem to be the index finger that’s extended, but the ring finger.

It’s all in the mind. Clumsy I think.

If all the “fingers” in the symbol were of equal length would it suggest a “hand”?

I guess your prudy eye didn’t make it to the next row of buttons to see this one? 😄

If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it

Andyross

Astyanax I was wondering if anyone would notice that one, too!
We have multiple models of these Citizen CNC lathes, and they all have that weird Manual icon. For years, I have looked at it, and say it just doesn’t look like a normal hand.
