This here story all about that gangster pinky ring. You know, them little rings them tough guys wear on their little finger. I seen ’em in them old movies, all shiny and flashy. Makes a fella look important, I reckon.
Well, folks say these rings, these pinky rings, they got a story. Some say it’s a sign of a big shot, you know, someone who’s made it. Someone with a lot of money or someone with a big family. Like they accomplished somethin’ in life. Could be themself or their kin.
And then you got them other fellas, the ones you see on TV. They wear them gangster pinky ring things too, they say. These fellas, you don’t wanna mess with ’em, not one bit. They’re the ones people whisper about. Bad news, that’s what they are. They got them rings so when they get theirselfs in trouble or end up dead, someone can pay for the funeral. Crazy, ain’t it? So a pinky ring can be about family too!
I heard some folks wear it on their right hand, that’s the hand most folks use, you see. They say it means you done did somethin’ good, somethin’ you’re proud of. All by yourself, you know. But, if you see a fella with it on the other hand, the left one, well, that’s about the whole family. Like they all did good together. Teamwork, I guess you’d call it.
Now, back in the old days, they say these pinky rings were like a wedding band. A fella’d wear it to show he was taken, you know, hitched. Specially in them 1800s and 1900s. Like sayin’, “Back off, ladies, I’m hers!”
But nowadays? Shoot, anyone can wear a pinky ring. Don’t matter if you’re a good guy or a bad guy. If you got money or you don’t. Just a little somethin’ extra, I suppose. A little bling, they call it.
Some fellas, they like to wear them gangster pinky ring things all big and bold. Like a big ol’ rock on their finger. And then you got them other fellas who like ’em small and simple. Just a little somethin’, not too flashy. Like a whisper, not a shout, I guess.
- Wear it on your right hand, they say it means you did somethin’ good.
- Wear it on your left hand, it’s about your family doin’ good.
- Back in the day, it was like a wedding ring.
- Nowadays, anyone can wear one. Good or bad.
I seen them young fellas, them rappers, wearin’ ’em too. All covered in diamonds and gold. Tryin’ to look tough, I reckon. Like them gangsters in the movies. But you know what? It don’t make ’em tough. Just makes ’em look like they tryin’ too hard.
And I don’t get it! You can wear a pinky ring if you want to. If it looks good to you, wear it! It ain’t about being a gangster! Some people just like to wear a pinky ring, and that is it!
Now, you see a fella with one of them gangster pinky ring things, you don’t go judgin’ him. You don’t know his story. Maybe he’s a good guy, maybe he’s not. Maybe he just likes the way it looks. Don’t matter. You just mind your own business, that’s what I say.
So, this pinky ring, it’s just a ring, really. But it’s got a lot of stories behind it. Good stories, bad stories, family stories. Just depends on who’s wearin’ it and why. But one thing’s for sure, it sure does get people talkin’, don’t it?
You wanna wear one? Go ahead. Big one, small one, shiny one, plain one. Don’t matter. Just be yourself, that’s the most important thing. Don’t go tryin’ to be somethin’ you’re not. Just be you. And if you like a little somethin’ shiny on your pinky, well, you go right ahead and wear that gangster pinky ring.
And if you got a big, strong fella wearin’ a pinky ring, they might be in the mob. But hey, who knows? Maybe he just likes how it looks. Maybe his grandma gave it to him. You just never know, do you? So don’t go jumpin’ to conclusions. Just let a fella wear his ring in peace, I say.
You can wear one too. Don’t worry what anyone says. You be you. And if a pinky ring makes you feel good, you wear that thing. Big and bold, or small and simple. It’s your finger, your choice. Just don’t go gettin’ into no trouble, you hear? That’s all I gotta say about that.
This whole gangster pinky ring thing, it’s a lot of fuss about nothin’, if you ask me. But hey, people like to talk. And they like to make up stories. So let ’em talk. You just do you. And don’t you worry about what them other folks say. You just wear that ring if you want to, and be proud of it. No matter what.
