The long pinky nail is found often among the men here in China where I live they usually also let the thumb nail grow just as long also. The pinky nail is used mainly for cleaning out the ears. The long thumb and pinky nail is also used as a kind of knife set for doing things in the kitchen like cleaning the innards out of fish and scraping stuff like veggies and fruit. Pretty much for scraping or poking anything. I know, I live in China.
As for the other side of the globe, everyone else here already stated the obvious- used for snorting coke.
Huge difference in purpose based on lifestyle, government, and money, eh?

Honestly, I also wondered the same thing before. So there was this guy that worked at a convenient store I visited a lot. I asked him why his pinkie finger nail was long. He told me it was for lining up cocaine the drug. I was very embarrassed that I had evened asked him to say the least.

It means they're a coke head, they leave the pinky nail long to dip into the baggy.

My piano teacher insisted that I cut my fingernails short, but I wanted long fingernails, so my mom compromised by letting me grow my pinky nails long.
That's what it meant to me, anyway.

If you are male it means you don't take very good care of your nails or you haven't left the eighties and are still doing coke.

It STILL means that you sniff coke or crack. And that you use it to cut the rocks that you just bought if you have strong nails.

It is typically used to snort cocaine but some stupid kids also think it looks cool to glorify that behavior by adopting the look, even if they don't use.

It used to be handy to scoop up the cocaine with and sniff a little. Don't know if thats what it is now.

It used to mean that you snorted cocaine, but that was in the 90's.
