Dont need to have heard the term. Just need to know it’s rough meaning. Some people really think it means “call me” which while a valid interpretation also messes with its actual meaning
Get off your high horse lol.
It’s literally called the call me hand in the official Unicode emoji specs. Not everything has to relate to the USA, friend.
That said, feel free to interpret it as the shaka with your friends. No need to foist that on the rest of us.
Way way more people use the Shaka to mean Shaka as opposed to call me. If you use that symbol to mean call me, I can’t really help you, but I’ve never actually seen that in real life after like 1995.
Unicode naming can be wrong (and it is here) and that’s ok.
I knew it meant “hang loose”, but I’ve never heard the term.
