>The gesture dates back to ancient Greece and it was also used in ancient Rome.>Historically, it represented a phallus.>In the early 1800s, it gained increasing recognition as a sign of disrespect and was used by music artists (notably more common among actors, celebrities, athletes and politicians; most still view the gesture as obscene).>In more contemporary periods, the bent index and ring fingers on each side of the middle finger have been likened to represent the testes.hearing it explained in nerd is pretty funny
>"The finger", or the middle finger (as in giving someone the (middle) finger, flipping the bird or flipping someone off) is an obscene hand gesture.>The gesture communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to "fuck you", "fuck off", "go fuck yourself", "shove it up your ass/arse" or "up yours".>It is performed by showing the back of a hand 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 in the Western world.>Many cultures use similar gestures to display their disrespect, although others use it to express pointing without intentional disrespect.>The gesture is usually used to express contempt but can also be used humorously or playfully.bravos, maestros
