one of my co-workers has his pinky nail hella long on his left hand. hes from ethiopia & cool as fuck. i know people sometimes grow out the pinky nail as a little coke spoon, but he doesnt seem like he does coke at all.

is a cultural thing from ethiopia?

he always says shit like "in ethiopia the woman is under the man"

"in ethiopia if you argue, the man slaps the woman and says shut up. then he barely apologizes"

"in ethiopia the woman belongs in the kitchen, and the man is out making money"

"in ethiopia a single man is with a single woman, there is no 'ex-' and there is maybe only 3% divorce"

"there are no homosexuals in ethiopia"


sounds like 1950's america

i'll ask him if its for coke next week, then if it is, i'll do some with him

Man I was playin poker last night and this fag had one of those long pinky nails. This other dude I know has one too. I don't get what it's for. I can't imagine females would look at it as something attractive.

Fuck growing that shit out. I keep my finger nails trimmed and clean. Aint tryin to use it for coke or for looks.

If you cant do coke without a fingernail, then you arent a true cokehead. Get a fuckin bullet man.

found this on google. whatever the reason, its gross.

  • Organic coke spoon. As if we needed to ask.
  • Booger scoop and earwax excavator. Gross, yes, but sure keeps that coke from falling off.
  • In the old days in China, long fingernails were a sign you were rich and didn't do manual labor. Now they grow out the pinkie as a sign of culture, breeding and wealth. No doubt there's some truth to this. A bit of browsing turns up photos of ornate fingernail protectors worn by ladies of the imperial Chinese court. Bizarre though such talons may seem to some, one could argue that as an indicator of culture, breeding, and wealth they beat having to buy a Jaguar and read Proust.
  • My Chinese students (all about 18 to 22) told me the nails are long so the little finger reaches past the last knuckle joint on the ring finger. If it does, you are rich and intelligent! Maybe, but if I'm Anna Nicole Smith trying to size up a prospective soul mate, I'm going to need to see more than a pinkie nail.
  • My 76-year-old uncle keeps one pinkie nail long and sharpened to open envelopes.
  • A sharpened, hardened nail is a dangerous weapon and can be a sign of prison time. Or of a man who opens a lot of envelopes.
  • I thought it was a sign one was a pimp.
  • My friend has one and always hints it is for sexual purposes. I really hope they don't involve earwax.
  • Great for opening shrink-wrap. Ha! I bet that's what Mr. Sexual Purposes does with it.
  • General scratching and ear cleaning. The longer nail also works well when trying to pick up something lying flat on a table, like a coin. Definitely seeing a common thread here. My assistant Bibliophage points to the French word auriculaire, meaning pinkie finger, of which Larousse remarks, "ainsi nommé parce que sa petitesse lui permet de s'introduire dans l'oreille" ("so named because its small size allows it to be introduced into the ear").
  • My pinkie finger on both my hands is a bit longer than the other nails. I use them for playing the tarifs, or sympathetic strings of the sitar, in different fashions. I use the right one for playing a quick scale down the sympathetic strings between different movements of the Hindustani classical music I usually play. The left one I use for striking the tarifs as accents during the slow, first movement, or alap. I keep my right index nail a little long so that I can pluck each string individually (they are hard to reach) for tuning. And as a bonus, people think you're a pimp.
  • The cashier at Subway had one nail grown long. I asked him why and he said he had a running competition with one of his friends as to who had the longest fingernail. This, on so many levels, is why I never eat at Subway.
  • A Google search produced some interesting ones: that Picasso kept a long little fingernail for mixing paints, and that Turkish men commonly keep such a nail for opening cigarette wrappers.
  • I am the only man I know that has 32 different colors of nail varnish, as I have one two-inch-long pinkie nail that I paint up like the Colombian flag. Whatever you say, partner. However, I have to point out that the Colombian flag only has three colors.
  • Don't cut my nails, pinkies only ones that don't break off. My friend's answer. Give him credit for honesty.
  • On a Beijing subway I saw a guy with a long pinkie nail clean his nose and his ears with it. Right after he wiped his nail on the hand rail, someone grabbed it. Wonderful place, Beijing subways. OK, I think we got it. Theory, at least in some parts of Asia: sign of culture, breeding, and wealth. Practice, regardless of locale: booger scoop.

If my pinky nail gets long I like to chew it off. I noticed its usually the easiest nail to bit off. the pointer finger nail never comes off clean. I always have to mangle it and then smooth it out with my other finger nails. the middle one is a little tough too. the ring finger nails come off smooth as butter.

the thumb nail can be a bitch though. I gotta clip that shit with actual clipps or risk chewing into my cuticle.

I like doing this in public and leaving the leftover dead skin matter in an open place to gross people out.
