crossed fingers
A hand gesture in which the index and middle fingers on one hand are crossed, like this: 🤞.
Crossing one's fingers is used to wish for good luck. Alternatively, when the gesture is hidden behind the back, it indicates telling a white lie or breaking a promise.
Not to be confused with
- X fingers - the index fingers of both hands are crossed to from an X
- interlocked fingers - the fingers of both hands are interlaced
- finger heart - the index finger crosses the thumb in a v pattern, forming a heart-like shape where the two fingers meet
