The idea that you could stealth a cig is extremely funny

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Seymour, why is your hand smoking?

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

It's not for hiding the whole cig, just the cherry - iirc it originated in the trenches from smokers trying to avoid being sniped.

"It smells like shit over here, I just can't put my finger on why."

person whose hand is inconspicuously emitting smoke: 😐

And what I was told about the "bounder" one is that it keeps your hand close to being a fist, so you and your fellow ruffians can sucker punch some gentleman.

That graphic is missing the classic working-class grip

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

what grip is that

does it replace the cigarette with a hammer

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

OK, but classic, bounder, gentry, and women's are all slight variations on the same grip? I might roll my hand through all of those and couple more while idly holding a lit cig.

Or is the graphic really trying to tell me that transition is as easy as flipping my hand over, loosening my grip, and laying my thumb on the end?
