Fig: Wear Your Story - UNISEX Sweatshirt
Wear Your Story
Ever wondered how people threw shade before emojis were a thing? We’re talking centuries back. The fig sign has been turning heads since Shakespeare’s plays, where it popped up as a cheeky insult (spoiler alert: Elizabethan England wasn’t laughing). But the roots go even deeper—like 1162, when Emperor Frederick Barbarossa threw it to humiliate the citizens of Milan to punish them.
The fig sign has meant everything under the sun:
- A lucky charm in Portugal
- A shield against jealousy in Brazil
- A cheeky wink in Japan
- Part of a counting system for the Maasai
- A denial sign in Slavic cultures
- A protective gesture against evil in Ancient Rome
- An insult, similar to the middle finger, in Turkey and Slavic nations
- Disagreement or refusal in Armenia and Poland—basically, “no thanks.”
What's your modern-day fig vibe? What modern world keeps special for our emotional expressions? Do we have a secret language? Something to notice about in hundred years from now on?
