The shocker is a hand gesture with a sexual connotation. The ring finger and thumb are closed while the other fingers are left open. The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the pinky finger into the nearby anus (the "shocker"). Because of its explicit sexual connotation, the shocker is sometimes considered vulgar.

There are a number of terms for this hand gesture, the most common and widely used variations are "Two in the pink, one in the stink", "Two in the goo, one in the poo", and "Going to town with one in the brown." Other frequent phrases accompanying the gesture are "shock the world" or "shockerrrr" (with the word elongated and said in a sexual inflection). The shocker is generally referred to as being "given" or "delivered" rather than shown, much like the way the finger is verbally referenced. Image:Helmsshcoker.jpg

There are numerous variations on this gesture, including "the Spocker," (two fingers in each) or the "barracuda," (pinky and ring finger in anus, index finger in the vagina and the thumb used for clitoral stimulation) also known as the "sharker" or, in Western Canada, as "the schtickler."

There is also the following variation: closing the middle finger with the thumb and displaying the index finger, and the ring finger and pinky; This gesture is known as the "Reverse Betty Crocker"

Another variation on the shocker is "the Bowling Ball", accomplished by inserting the middle and ring fingers into the vagina and the thumb into the anus, leaving the index and pinky free, simulating holding a bowling ball. Also known as a six pack, since the gesture is similar in appearance to carrying a six pack of beer.

It is quite possible to perform the "shocker handshake," where about two people (correctly performing the shocker gesture), can connect hand gestures to form a genuine handshake which fits perfectly. By inserting the index and middle finger into the hole created by the other person's gesture, a smooth connection is created. It should be noted that upon connection, it is considered proper to lurch your hand forward, as if in a shocking blow. Optional finishing sayings of "pow" or "bam" are considered fair game.

Hardy's "V1" gesture is done with the index and middle fingers separated, forming a "V", and has no sexual connotation.

The shocker is also commonly displayed by sports fans of Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. The nickname for sports teams at the university is the Shockers.

In Canada, the shocker is also known as the "shot gun." In New Jersey, it is sometimes referred to as the "New Jersey meat hook," in which the fingers are curled back after being inserted. In New England, it is occasionally called "the Brunswick," referencing the brand of bowling equipment and paraphernalia.

In certain novelty shops, one may find foam hands, a la the 'Number one' sign, shaped as the shocker. [1]
