When people say 'hairy knuckles', do they mean

[Deja Q]

the knuckles are hairy? Or the areas surrounding the knuckles? :shrug:

[uppityperson]

1. I think the whole back of the finger area, not just knuckles.

unless I am missing a broader connotation which is always a possibility.

[undeterred]

2. I think its a figure of speech meaning a man has cave man attitudes

towards women... oh, maybe that's 'knuckle dragger'...

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. No, they mean someone from the south.

You know, a redneck ignorant gap-toothed slack-jawed racist Christian fundamentalist who rapes his sister/her sister and couldn't put a sentence together to save the life of his NASCAR-lovin' tobacco spitting big-haired fake-nailed polyester-wearing drinking-ripple-from-a-jelly-jar aunt.
