الأرقام (Numbers)

Some expressions using digits:

1:  If signified by a thumb up, means the same thing it does in the U.S. ("great!")

2:  If held in a "V" facing outwards, represents the "V" for victory sign.

3:  Used to warn someone, like a child (e.g., "this is the LAST time I'm telling you..."), if the index finger and thumb are held in a slightly pinched "OK" sign with the other three fingers extended, and the hand is waved back and forth in someone's direction.

5:  Means "stop".  It can also mean jealousy ("five fingers in your eye!") - I'll let you figure out how the hand motion works for this.
