here's your sign

A sarcastic remark and gesture that is said and done when someone says something stupid. This is said while holding the back of your right hand in a fist to your forehead with the index finger and thumb extended to form an "L" for "Loser." This is done and said to someone when they ask an obvious question and they should have known the answer; it points out to someone how dumb the question was that they just asked.

Etymology:

  • From comedian Bill Engvall's "Here's your sign" routine in his comedy act
9 Views

(From Bill Engvall's comedy routine)
Bill is standing outside his house with boxes all around and a moving truck there. A man walks up to Bill and says, "Are you moving?" Bill says, "Nope, my wife and I just like packing things up once or twice a week just to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."
