Three Farmington (Ill.) High senior girls basketball players were suspended for making an obscene gesture formed by keeping ones fingers extended, minus the ring finger. The hand formation is called “The Shocker” and refers to a way of penetrating a lady by inserting 2 fingers in her sexual organ and one in her anus but the description is more often referred to in a do-it-yourself phrase that involves the number of fingers with fill-in-the-blank rhyming words to describe the vagina and rectum. ie: “Two in the pink, one in the stink” or “Two in the goo, one in the poo” were the most popular variations back when I was in high school and this kind of thing was slightly more hilarious than it actually is.
From Yahoo Sports:
Farmington senior point guard Jessica Settles addressed the matter on Twitter, first tweeting, “Farmington’s administration shocked us,” followed by a hashtag that included the phrase “f— Farmington.” When a basketball player from a neighboring town responded, asking what happened, Settles tweeted, “suspended two games for shocking ’em in our team and senior picture,” accompanied by an “LOL” and a copy of the picture.
Surely, the administration isn’t pleased with the social media firestorm that has ensued.
Guards Taylor Wassi and Julie Broadway also appear in the photo of the lone seniors on the Farmington girls basketball team. The Canton Daily Ledger recently ran a story on the 10-player team entitled, “Short on experience, low in numbers,” which includes a team photo that does not feature any players on the roster flashing the hand gesture.
The gesture received national attention when cheerleaders for Wichita State’s men’s basketball team flashed it on TV during the Shockers’ Final Four run this past March.
