“They’re dismantling our country. They’re looting our government. And they think we’ll just watch.”
Hi Americans, the letter ø is a Danish/Norwegian letter, and for your information ØF is the sound a pig makes. And Øffer is a pork-rind snack named after that sound.

So when you write hands Øff, it’s kind of hilarious.
(edit) But maybe it’s to illustrate the way Trump speaks, as one commenter suggested. 😜
Edit 2: Yes I know it’s to emphasize “NO”, I was just having a bit of fun…
Pretty sure they’re just playing on the “do not touch” style signs, not trying to use a random letter from another language.
Agreed. More like Ghostbusters, less like Scandinavian literature.
Is there someone we can call to exterminate the Trumpettes?
That would be 🚫 not Ø.
Can’t you tell the difference?
but Trump is a pig
Yeah, it still kind of works.
Good point. 👍 😋
The red slash through a circle means “NO”, although they have it going in the opposite direction there. I guess it doesn’t really make a lot sense in that context either.
🚫
Exactly, you make the diagonal line left to right, then it’s a symbol that means no.
If you make ö or ø or Å those symbols are letters.
Not in English they aren’t. I presume you can tell this sign is in English.
It’s a crossed out English letter O.
It’s the same in Danish. It’s to indicate that it’s not an O /s
So it really just says FF?
No, it’s more like it’s utilizing the O to provide an emphatic doubling down on the concept of “No,” “Hands Off,” “Don’t do what you are doing,” and so on. It’s not a particularly skillful demonstration of graphic design ability or grammar.
🚫 has the line left to right within the ring. And is a symbol that universally means no.
That’s the standard version. The slash going the other way is nonstandard, but still common. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-10-in-x-14-in-Aluminum-No-Smoking-Sign-31054/304304482
This, especially, is a stylistic choice. Perhaps it’s also based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashed_zero, or one of the other similar symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø_(disambiguation)
You guys should stop using the word “slut” then.
(This is an equally silly suggestion)
