Jabber's English Note---009

Sorry, I have missed all of my friends for such a long time.

During the past two weeks, I have been busy with finger-pointing. For the friends who are still in China, you can figure out what people mean by finger-pointing. When people finger-point at each other, they actually try to shake their responsibilities and pick up other's faults. Our company oursourced a project. Since it is already half-done, so it is time for me to finger-point our business partners...

In the real life, it is quite a common phenomena to see Chinese couples finger-point in their families. Bet you not?

    • Thanks! Interesting. Maybe couples finger point, not only the Chinese :) Seems 'finger' has something to do with quite a few phrases such as finger cross...and finger itself is not a good one. It would be great if you
      could share more 'finger' things and of course the beautiful English notes.
    • I still couldn’t figure out what exactly finger-pointing mean :-( I can guess the rough meaning of it by your posts, but I don’t think I can use it properly because I don’t know the tone and attitude of the speaker.
      And, what is finger cross? I couldn’t find it in my dictionary.
      • keep one's fingers crossed 祝成功 finger cross means puting the middle finger on top of index finger.
        • Thanks :-)
