peer agreement (net): +1venstre ringfinger (fingeren med vielsesringringen) Explanation: Det henviser ret sikkert til en vielsesring. I USA (og andre stder) skal denne være på ringfingeren på venstre hånd. Fingeren er derfor vigtig fordi den signalerer at ringen ikke bare er til pynt: "Custom tells us that wedding rings are displayed a certain way...worn on the ring finger of the left hand...the hand closest to the heart." http://www.homeofheroes.com/hallofheroes/1st_floor/flag/1bfb... Her er et par eksempler på brugen af udtrykket: "Boy and Girl grow up together, fall in love and marry right out of highschool, typical. But something goes sour and girl leaves the small town to make it big in the big city and winds up with the mayor's son, her own clothing line and a small ice rink on an important finger of her left hand, NICE!" http://www.peever.org/web/reviews/index.shtml "Not only did she get announced as one of the finalists for Miss Homecoming, but the very next day, she had a sparkling diamond on a very important finger." http://dailybeacon.utk.edu/article.php/7952 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-04-28 11:28:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Det kan selvfølgelig osse dreje sig om en forlovelsesring (engament BAND - ikke \'ring\').
