Details can vary from forgoing some of the steps (most often the first one, since technically you're pointing to yourself in step 2 anyway) to using different fingers when pointing at different things, but this is how you generally tell someone that [[Eye Am Watching You]]. Though generally a threatening gesture, it is known to have at times been used in a friendly or reassuring manner as well; communicating something to the effect of "I'll be seeing you", "I've got your back" or such. In sign language, the same gesture from one side of the face (not centered) translates as "see" or "I see you."

Line 31:
* Barney from ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' uses this gesture to encourage his friends to "focus on the prize." Which is usually casual sex and/or hijinks.
* Shirley on ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' does this when she and Annie are deputized to monitor [[April Fools' Day]].
* In ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'', Vice-Principal Crubbs does this to Ned from time to time.
* Doakes does this to ''Dexter''.
