I dont understand it.
Yes I know what it means.
But why does everybody use it to say "Good one!" or "Fucking ace!" when really it is a symbol for stick this in yah cunt and a big thumb up your arse while your at it.

the kuda is the ksrc translation of the world known shocker. Hence the name change. With the translation came a meaning change.
From what i can see, it means 'fuck yeah!' 'awesome' or any other positive phrase or hand gesture. This didnt really take up until some genius decided to make a very happy smiley out of the kuda. Then it went viral.
Until another genius made some stickers out of it and now its an epidemic

I had a feeling it was r-d that was the start of this one.
I still am wondering how it came about, aside from a shitload of alcohol.

I don't think Mr Wobbly was questioning the meaning - he says he knows what it means.
He's questioning its prevalent non-sexual use.

Is it any different to rock/music fans making the devil sign? They are not 'in general' devil worshipers about to go sacrifice goats, but merely strengthening their group belonging with a icon. This is no different, and I'm sure many members are not about to give their partners a shocker any time soon.
As Clive Dunn in Dad's Army would say, "They don't like it up em Mr Mannering"
