A PAUL McCartney-style double thumbs up has been voted one of the most uncool hand gestures by youngsters.

Three in ten Gen Zs believe the signal used by the 80-year-old Beatle is a sign someone is over the hill.

But playing air guitar beat it into second place, while writing an imaginary cheque when asking for the bill was third.

Others gestures in danger of being lost forever include doing a fist pump, saluting and a single thumbs up.

One in five youngsters say raising your finger to your lips to get people to shhh is completely out of date.

Claudia Crosse of insights agency Perspectus Global, which commissioned the survey, said: “It is fascinating to see which hand gestures will make you seem uncool if you use them in front of younger Brits.

“However, hand gestures are constantly evolving, so it’s not unfeasible to imagine that playing air guitar or doing a double thumbs up may one day come back in fashion.”
