    I live in California. Just wondering if someone can explain why Houston hand signal is the horns. Is it because of the Texas?

    I live in Houston but I'm afraid I am too old, white, and awkward to answer you.

    Maybe there is something wrong with my brain where I can't care what random people do with their hands.

    If the fingers are pointed straight up, it's the H.

    If the fingers are slanted, it's the horns.

    If that makes sense...

    lulz I didn't realize this was such a hotly debated topic that it needed the D&D treatment.

    I've also wondered about it myself. I think it looks too similar to the longhorns sign.

    This is all Obama's fault.

    It's a backwards hook'em horns. Trust me. I went to Grace MS with Jay Prince's son. I'm the vanilla face about that life.

    To specify, it quasi-resembles an H.
    You can do the two-pointers across the chest, with the thumbs & middle fingers pointing up and down, respectively. That's too much work though, and us Houstonians like to get to the point right swift.

    I had no idea Houston had a hand sign. But, I don't use hand signs. When I see people using hand signs I think they look like dorks.
