Remember the movie "Seventeen moments of spring", as in the Reichstag the Nazis greeted each other with raised up hands? That's it... now imagine a stadium full of football fans, as they "make a pen", if the favourite team scored a goal? Right, throws up. In fact, and in another case it is the right hand “works”.

zig what is itWhere is he from?

The Question is, "ridge" — what it is and where I came from? Let us dwell on the history of this gesture. There is a version of its origin in the distant times of the Roman Empire. The image on the famous Trajan's column says that the right hand is raised up when meeting people with each other Hello.

The Slavs-brothers

There is another version. The concept of "ridge" - what is it? The greeting used by the ancient Slavs? Our ancestors were pagans, and worship the pagan God was a matter of right. So, welcome the most revered God of the Sun took place as follows: man's right hand pressed to his chest in the heart area and then aligned forward so that the palm was open. This gesture symbolized a return of energy, that is, the transparency of intentions, the kindness of thoughts. By the way, this gesture, the Slavs are not used when meeting the enemy.

Other versions

Still, the "ridge" — what is it? A cry, a gesture or something in common? There are more explanations:

  1. zig itWas in the late sixties of the last century a popular English play "ziger-Zager”. It was considered a problem which needed solving: football, football fans, hooliganism.
  2. Now consider on the other hand the concept of "zig". What is it in relation to football? Because this concept is used by the fans. It is believed that it appeared, thanks to one fan «Chelsea» (London), which with the help of this chants “start” fans, answered his cries, and it caught on. Later there is even a fun song using the words.

Ola, football!

When you look at the stadium, where there were thousands and thousands of fans of their favorite team, they throw up their hands fascinate with its coherence. It's really a great tool to show players how they are sick and worried men and women of all ages and statuses. Football brings people together and unites during the game. How many conversations are conducted after the match: home, in transport, at work.

zig'sWhy are they "ziguyut"?

The Most unpleasant fact is that “the ridge” — it's a gesture, which is used by representatives of nationalist organizations, absolutely not related to football and is likely far from the worship of the sun God. The gesture that carries a message, energy “charge-discharge”, is associated with manifestations of fascism, evil, which contained in its mouth a huge number of people: babies, women, old people.

Conclusion

The article briefly considers the main options that answer the question: "ridge" — what is it? Gesture use and football fans, they are neo-fascists. We sometimes copy the gestures of others, not knowing for sure what it means. An old grandfather, who at heart have carried the pain of loss in war, will certainly step aside away, and the fans on the contrary, will answer the same lunging right hand "ziguyuschim". Two opposite sides of a single gesture.
