THE MIDDLE FINGER
|
THE MIDDLE FINGER  This is one gesture that seems to transcend cultures and time as a sign of disrespect, meaning ‘fuck off’ or ‘fuck you’. It can be traced back to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. In the US, for some reason unknown to me, it’s called ‘flipping the bird’. According to anthropologist Desmond Morris, the gesture probably came to the US via Italian immigrants in the 1880s. The first recorded appearance of the middle finger came in an 1886 baseball game between the Boston Beeneaters and the New York Giants. In the UK, flicking the V, with the middle and index finger, was more popular than the middle finger, but the middle finger now rules. Flicking the V was what I used to do; now I just use my middle finger. Why is it called flipping the bird in the US? When was the last time you got a middle finger, or a flicked V, from someone? And when was the last time you gave a middle finger, or a flicked V, to someone? The last time I gave a middle finger to someone was a week ago to a car driver being very impatient with an old man (not me!) crossing the street. The last time I received a middle finger was when I stopped my car at traffic lights next to my ex-wife’s car! Below is Johnny Cash and Lady Gaga showing attitude.   |

In Western culture, the finger (as in giving someone the finger), also known as the middle finger, the highway salute, the Bronx salute, the one-finger salute, the one-digit salute, the bird (as in giving, flipping, or flying the bird), flipping off someone, or (in Canada) the Trudeau salute is an obscene hand gesture, often meaning the phrase "fOck you" or "up yours". It is performed by showing the back of a closed hand that has only the middle finger extended upwards. A very good question. Never been fingered. !! Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

The last time I did was a very long time ago....a truck driver cut in front of me at a roundabout....when he saw what I did....he blocked me and got out of the truck and came towards my car.....only I was saved by a policeman who told him to move his effin truck!!!!  ~~Anais Nin~~

I haven't given anyone the finger since I grew up!

I can't remember when I was on either end of the one finger salute, but when it happened either way, I was behind the wheel of a car.  Find pleasure in giving pleasure

Here in New Jersey,, we refer to it as the New Jersey Salute. It is so common when driving, I don't even pay attention

I don't think I've ever given anybody "the finger"... though I think I was flipped off a couple weeks ago when I was driving just a bit too tired and not paying quite enough attention.  I was going to post song lyrics here... I swear there's a song about "everyone thinks I'm number one, because they waive one finger at me every day" or something like that. I don't remember the right lyrics though.

As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever been brave enough to do this hand gesture to me because most people sense the impending doom of raised finger being broken. I did this gesture to my ex, last year, when he made some smart-arsed comment but it was in a semi-joking fashion and we laughed about how casually I did it. He thought his generation invented it... Lol

That was cunning, hopefully it was at meeting with Aer Lingus! More corn, sorry!

I often use two fingers at friends in humour.

I'm pleased, even if unwittingly, you were amused at this post. I'll look forward to seeing your hand gestures in blogland.

Giving the someone the finger can certainly lessen the frustration of certain moments.
