I’ve always seen Men in Jordan with the infamous long pinkie nail and I always wondered to why they have them, I thought it was a taxi cab driver specialty.
I always thought that they grow them to pick their noses (I threw up in my mouth a little right now just picturing it in action)
And then I came to Canada to find out that this phenomenon is not limited to Jordan only!
We have a manager (Yes. A manager who does not drive a taxi and who is in his late fifties) who has a long pinkie nail and one of my hilarious coworkers dubbed him “The Coke finger”.
This was the first time I learned that people use that nail to snort cocaine.
Since I always wondered why people grew that fingernail and to expand my knowledge base (OK it’s Friday and I am bored) I went on a google quest to find out why people grow it
OMG some of these entries are just tooooo funny!
First there is a blogger who lives in Honduras that posted about this issue. Apparently in Honduras there are A LOT of men who sport that long fingernail which resulted with her going on a quest of her own to find why. Fascinating read, hehe.
I continued my search to find out that the one and only Dave has already tackled this issue on his blog, he was so weirded out by it that he wrote a Treatise .
There’s even this page that is dedicated to this subject and lists MANY reasons to why some men choose to sport that disgusting VILE nail.
And last but not least the Urban dictionary confirms that people use the coke nail to , well, snort cocaine.
It’s funny how so many people are so interested in knowing why that nail is being grown all around the world.
HILARIOUS.
