Bunny Ears

This gesture was called cuckold’s horns in the Middle Ages and was used to put a man in shame who has an unfaithful wife. Sometimes, the man was even forced to wear antlers on their head. Another description of this hand gesture was to depict donkey ears which was also an insult in Medieval times.

Today, this is commonly used in photo-taking to make fun of people without their knowledge.
