The Finger

yourplayersaidwhat:

[CONTEXT: The party is finally being let out of a city after it had been on a lockdown of sorts. We’re a party of 6, with a Gnome Bard, Human Fighter, Tabaxi Warlock, Half-Elf Rogue, and Elf Druid, and a Triton Cleric who re-rolled later to be a Dwarf Cleric]

ROGUE: As we’re leaving, I give the guard the finger.

FIGHTER: And then he moves aside, to reveal me. I’m also giving the guard the finger.

TRITON CLERIC (Me): Uhh… I don’t know shit about land culture but I really wanna fit in, so I also give the guard the finger just to look cool.

DM: Do you know what it means?

ME: Definitely not.

DM: Do you bother asking anyone in the party?

ME: …uh, sure. I turn to [ROGUE] and quietly ask what it means.

EVERYONE: …???

ROGUE: I tell her it means “thank you”.
