What does \m/ mean?

It's all I ever see on the internet and I don't know what it means...


Google took the slashes off so it searches for "m"


Thanks in advance

It means having an attitude without caring about what others think about your looks.
It means being able to have fun with just a karaoke machine and some friends.
It means playing an earth-shattering guitar solo on the desecrated corpse of God.

It means METAL.

I thought you'd know something like that Andy, with your musical taste!

Yeah, it's a text version of the metal hand sign thing. Or "Devil's Horns" as some people call it.

Derived from paganism to be used as a symbol of satan, you know, those crazy goat-legging wearing freaks arent the classiest bunch. Rock metalheads just stole it. even classier

It's the Devil horns!!... what you do when headbanging. Dio is credited it for it becoming popular, which, coincidentally today 2 years ago he died.

To add: his grandmother used to give him the metal horns. Its meaning was a protection against evil. If the horn (finger) tips are facing the person you are signaling to, then you are wishing evil upon them
