Now that you know all about the Order of the Occult Hand check out this video and find out about The Aloha Shirt and the Interesting Origin of Casual Friday: ua-cam.com/video/XHMm5NCWJLg/v-deo.html
@Donvillian Killuminati And knowing that some people react in all seriousness with a comment like that, some adults will do it anyway simply for the enjoyment of seeing others flip out :)
I really like your channel, however, why do you always have that music loop softly in the background? The drum tracks are especially distracting because they interfere with the consonants in your comments like 't' and 's'. You are definitely interesting enough so why do you think that back ground track (loop) is even necessary? I am a musician so even if you want something playing in the back ground, maybe it can be a nice piece of baroque music? just a suggestion. Anyway, I will keep watching because your topics are great...
Fascinating! Journalists obviously get bored, too. There's probably one for the people who double type words in two different lines (the/the, for example). If not, there should be. :)
An early proto-meme. Back when people put more effort into their memeage than just liking and sharing a hastily cobbled-together picture with a misspelled caption.
Steven Georges I don't know if Simon is a member, but you need to rewatch the video to answer that last question. I think you missed the point entirely.
Do you think you would get extra credit from journalist professors if you snuck it in to assignments and they didn't notice? The extra credit is achieved by informing them afterwards.
So you're left scrounging for weird published phrasing, using said gathered phrasing over and over again just hoping you get it right, try after try...that's the only way to figure it out? Unless a connection leaks it, as was the original phrase. Maybe some whiz kid could make an algorithm, otherwise, I'm left disappointed I can't join a redundant secret society just for shits and giggles.

I thought there wasn't any journalists left, there all just repeaters.
So, it's the journalist version of how many times you can say "meow".
Secret societies just for fun...Sounds like an adult level complication of a kid's game. I approve :)

I haven't heard about this before. great job yet again on finding an interesting topic!
excellent video and information. i keep laughing. i think that this were a old form of trolling before world wide web.
Alejandro Rodolfo Mendez keep believing that

So "occult hand" is the Wilhelm Scream of newspapers. And like the Wilhelm, it evolved from inside joke to annoying distraction.

The Wilhelm scream of the printed word...

Sounds like what we'd call an "Easter egg" in video games and other software today.
That's hilarious! I would so want to do that if I were a reporter!
So, is Simon Whistler now a member of the Occult Hand?
Since I'm a journalist, (photojournalist) am I a member too?
Steven Georges I don't know if Simon is a member, but you need to rewatch the video to answer that last question. I think you missed the point entirely.
After watching this I had to search my newspaper's archives for the phrase. No hits... yet ;)
I guess they are not so secret now.
Ohh, how I wish I knew about this when I worked with journalism
Kevin Lind haha
Hmm. Maybe there _is_ no new phrase - they're just telling us there is one so we'll look for it.

Cool story, bro.
Simon Whistleblower ;)
Was that Nick Wright in the picture with the sports journalist guy?
Very entertaining.
I think this beats "Have More Sex", as snuck into The Patriot in Ft. Stewart, Ga. a few decades ago, as it's far more artful.
Stuff like this tickles me!
Yeah sure. "Don't worry. We're just having a bit of a laugh. No harm."
Uh huh.
Considerimg that the only people that read mainstream newspapers anymore are other journalists, inside jokes like these have become rather sad.
Just get out of that secret hand sign club
ah this is like over 9000 before 4chan
A uniquely US Secret Sam sort of prank. But it serried only to flourish in the US, thank God!!
well it's not a secret anymore xD lol
It's pronounced "expozay", not "expoze" like the Montreal Expos.
We get our information from these 'kids'
Journalism memes. I guess the Order of the Occult Hand found da wey.
now that you got it into your video.....will you be joining this secret society 😋?
Gravity Falls, anyone? Anyone? No, just me? Oh. *slinks off to that corner where disgraced adult cartoon lovers hide and make fan edits*
I get it!
sounds like fun
Great, can't even read the paper
Can we please get English people to stop saying "Loss Angie Lees." It just sounds ridiculous.
Sounds like how Tennessee people say it
You probably say it wrong too, white boy. 😂
@@p0llenp0ny I'm sure all your pronunciation is impeccable, dim wit.
Evangelism

The spectre of Donald Trump as President hung over the scene like a shroud at the Republican National Committee meeting.
Meow that's what I call prose.
