Ok. Kiitos. Ap
In Western culture, the finger (as in giving someone the finger or the bird[1]), also known as the finger wave,the middle finger, flipping someone off,[1] flipping the bird, shooting the bird, the rude finger or the one finger salute is an obscene hand gesture. It communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to "fuck off", "fuck you", "shove it up your ass", "up yours" or "go fuck yourself." It is performed by showing the back of a closed fist that has only the middle finger extended upwards, though in some locales the thumb is extended. Extending the finger is considered a symbol of contempt in several cultures, especially Western cultures. Many cultures use similar gestures to display their disrespect, though others use it to express pointing with no intentional disrespect toward other cultures.
The gesture dates back to Ancient Greece and was also used in Ancient Rome. Historically, it represented thephallus. In some modern cultures, it has gained increasing recognition as a sign of disrespect, and has been used by music artists, athletes, and politicians. Most still view the gesture as obscene.
Olen kuullut sellaisen, että jousiampujilta leikattiin keskisormet joissakin sotien häviöissä ja ne joilta ei leikattu, näyttivät sitä vastustajille.
