Now, you may be wondering, how could a thing like this come into being? Well, you could be drinking wine, and decide that you were going to "reallocate" your roommate's wine for yourself, making a pirate hook with your pointer finger.
Like so.
But you might feel like rum is more of a pirate drink, but your pointer finger is being used for wine, but if you put rum on your pinkie finger, it must be "red rum"
Like so.
These two things leave one's hand in a devil gesture, or an anubis gesture, if you have your thumb, index, and ring fingers loose and outward. And the alpha and omega of *my* fiendish drinks is whiskey, which puts the life into the talking hand.
or 
This gesture should be used mainly when you've been drinking enough that your hand is drunk.

Egyptian Rat Screw
On more than one occasion, it has been assumed that my quick, twitchy, paranoid nature would make me a surefire winner at this game. I pointed out that my twitchy, paranoid nature also keeps me from wanting to throw my hand into a fray of hand slapping.
Firstly, ERS is great though I haven't played in 15 years. I imagine the hand-slapping becomes a bit more intense when you get bigger and drink whiskey.
But, wow. That is a fine hand gesture. And, by "fine" I mean terrifying and possibly evil. I like that it has an underbite. I wish I could have tried this last night when *my* hand was drunk.
I suggest part of the hand also say marmalade.
Marmalade is always, always for the lips.
Be wary, these are not the players with whom to learn Egyptian Ratscrew. They are sharks. With fins. They cannot help themselves. It is primeval.
Combining this with whiskey would probably make the right hand and the left not only not recognize each other's motives, but possibly cause sign language dialects comparable to Mandarin and Cantonese.
My roommates aren't that scary! Nor are they vicious ERS players. I just learned to play two years ago. My kiddos are much less scary ERS playahs than the burners.
My drunk hand can kick your drunk hands ass at ERS. I'm just saying.
Awright. This has given me so much pleasure. Must. Give. Bonus points.
This has inspired me to do a series of strange videos. Oh, You Tube, what have you done to me?
What the devil is Egyptian Rat Screw?
