Hi Americans, the letter ø is a Danish/Norwegian letter, and for your information ØF is the sound a pig makes. And Øffer is a pork-rind snack named after that sound.
The red slash through a circle means “NO”, although they have it going in the opposite direction there. I guess it doesn’t really make a lot sense in that context either.
No, it’s more like it’s utilizing the O to provide an emphatic doubling down on the concept of “No,” “Hands Off,” “Don’t do what you are doing,” and so on. It’s not a particularly skillful demonstration of graphic design ability or grammar.

So when you write hands Øff, it’s kind of hilarious.
(edit) But maybe it’s to illustrate the way Trump speaks, as one commenter suggested. 😜
Edit 2: Yes I know it’s to emphasize “NO”, I was just having a bit of fun…
Pretty sure they’re just playing on the “do not touch” style signs, not trying to use a random letter from another language.
Agreed. More like Ghostbusters, less like Scandinavian literature.
Is there someone we can call to exterminate the Trumpettes?
That would be 🚫 not Ø.
Can’t you tell the difference?
but Trump is a pig
Yeah, it still kind of works.
Good point. 👍 😋

🚫
Exactly, you make the diagonal line left to right, then it’s a symbol that means no.
If you make ö or ø or Å those symbols are letters.
Not in English they aren’t. I presume you can tell this sign is in English.
It’s a crossed out English letter O.
It’s the same in Danish. It’s to indicate that it’s not an O /s
So it really just says FF?

🚫 has the line left to right within the ring. And is a symbol that universally means no.
That’s the standard version. The slash going the other way is nonstandard, but still common. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-10-in-x-14-in-Aluminum-No-Smoking-Sign-31054/304304482
This, especially, is a stylistic choice. Perhaps it’s also based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashed_zero, or one of the other similar symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø_(disambiguation)
You guys should stop using the word “slut” then.
(This is an equally silly suggestion)
