Your middle finger, your palm towards yourself, is telling someone to **** off. Your first two fingers, palm towards you, is victory. Your first two fingers, palm away from you, is peace. You've got basic sign language down. The middle finger is also used to mean "your driving is a piece of ****". Did you know it was the french who first used the middle finger as an insult? I did not. -- Michael Buerk on watching Phillipa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1's UK eclipse coverage remarked: "They seem cold out there, they're rubbing each other and he's only come in his shorts." |

Well I was wrong. I saw a TV show on old world subjects and showing the middle finger to the enemy was to show they still had their "firing finger" for whatever reason. It turns out that was bull****. This is the origin; The gesture dates back to Ancient Greece and it was also used in Ancient Rome. Historically, it represented the phallus. In some modern cultures, it has gained increasing recognition as a sign of disrespect, and has been used by music artists (notably more common among hardcore punk bands and rappers), actors, celebrities, athletes, and politicians. Most still view the gesture as obscene. The index finger and ring finger besides the middle finger in more contemporary periods has been likened to represent the testicles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_finger IF you buy that story.... lol |
