Stupid question :D

So, I honestly have no clue where to go with this or who to even ask, and look, I know this sounds incredibly silly, but I can’t stop thinking about it, so here goes nothing 😁 I’ve noticed a few guys lately rocking a single long nail on their pinky finger. What is the deal with that? Like, what’s the actual vibe they're going for? Is there some secret purpose to it? 😕

That is quite unpleasant. I once asked an individual why they kept their fingernails so long, and they simply replied that it allowed them to pick their ears and nose.😲 🤮 🤮

It’s much easier to get things done without long nails getting in the way. You’re just asking to end up with an injury...😢

It’s usually those guys—you know the type—wearing nothing but black button-downs, unbuttoned just enough to show off their chest hair, sporting some tacky gold signet ring, a thin chain, and more often than not, a mustache.

The fingernail is used for picking teeth after a heavy meal of prime rib. It’s such a "noble" little gesture, really—usually accompanied by this overly dramatic, graceful movement of the elbow.

I actually caught a glimpse of the streetcar driver dealing with that mess, and man, it looked absolutely gross... I honestly thought they might find something more productive to do with their time than just sitting there picking their noses. 😁

For picking locks. 🙂

Regarding the use of cocaine and meth 😵😵😵

I’d probably throw Aljoša Pešalov into the mix—you know, one of those people who walks around with these long nails...

I mean, think about it, even some of those hardcore weightlifters actually grow their nails out just a little bit, right? Apparently, it’s so the pressure from the heavy iron doesn't dig directly into their nail beds while they're grinding through a set...

I've heard that theory about finger pressure before too... but honestly, can we even hope that's 😬
true?

Most likely this is😁

If that were actually the case, it would certainly make sense...😁
But honestly, most of those folks haven't even seen a line of powder in their lives...🤣

Jessica Collins5 said:Ugh, that is just... gross. I once asked some guy why he had such a long nail, and he actually looked me in the eye and said, "So I can pick my nose and ears."😲 🤮 🤮

I’ve heard that one too.🤮

That is truly revolting.

So, a buddy of mine actually has these noticeably longer nails on certain fingers—though I don't think it's his pinky—specifically because he plays the guitar...

There are also those old, washed-up rockers out there—you know, the kind that used to be huge back in the day... probably just pure nostalgia at this point, I guess. I can think of maybe two guys who still try to pull it off

since buying an authentic samurai katana is way too expensive
it's much easier to just grow one on your finger ☕
