When I was learning grade school math, my brother used to say “chisenbop” whenever he noticed me using my fingers to count. I never investigated what that meant besides “using your fingers to count,” which was deemed a bad thing to do. (One of my friends admitted to using her tongue and teeth to keep track of her numbers in an inconspicuous manner.) Well, as we all know, if it exists, the web usually defines it, and chisenbop has been duly described and defined by Andy Harris. There are even streaming media tutorials on how to use this technique. So if I ever take up counting on my hands again, at least I’ll know how to do it the proper way. (via Memepool)
