    I can’t find a source personally but there seems to be a bit of internet controversy on the subject.

    A clip from TikTok said it was a secret signal for having syphilis. We can discount that just because of the source.

    It could be from Rome or Europe, for reasons ranging from cleanliness to small hot cups.

    Eesh. The Internet is useless these days.

      my radical hypothesis is that it just fuckin turned into a thing organically, and that not everything needs one specific reason that dates back to friday the 10th of 1702 at roughly five past noon.

      I know people with this condition so it’s at least plausible. But, yes, I should check my sources
