Nevertheless, this hand gesture should be used only sparingly.
For instance, in parts of Europe it may be mistaken for a strikingly similar
symbol in which the thumb
covers the nails of the middle and third finger.
This symbol means that someone is sleeping with your wife.
The delicate fox ears have been abruptly appropriated
by the horns of a cuckold.
Variations on the theme may be thought out.
For instance, if the thumb only covers the nail of the middle
finger, it may signify "Your wife is a quiet fox. Nobody knows
who she's been sleeping with but even if we did know, we wouldn't
tell you because we are quiet foxes."
In short, it is up in the air
as to whether
quiet foxes really are good foxes.
