FACTS ABOUT STICKING YOUR FINGER UP
The middle finger is the longest of all the fingers on the hand.
To present someone with just your middle finger is called several things including “The Bird”, “Flipping Someone Off”, and “Giving The Finger.”
Sticking up your middle finger at someone is a very common greeting used by many people around the world.
How to give someone the finger. A practical tutorial.
Start by facing another person. For starters try anyone who you feel is one of most important people in your life. There are several correct ways to flip someone off. This is just the most straightforward way. First start by holding your hand in front of you with your fingers open and your palm facing you.
Next take your pinky, ring, index finger and thumb and pull them down to your palm. If you have done this correctly you should end up with something like this.
After you do this the person you do it to will probably do it back, act upset, maybe yell a bit, and pobably storm off. This is completely normal. This is their way of telling you that you have correctly flicked them off, and decided to retun the greeting. Take it as a special sort of congratulations. Once that person is gone you can practice some of these more advanced techniques
After successfully giving the finger to your closest family and friends you may find yourself with a lot of extra free time. This is the perfect time to try and expand the base of people you flip off. You may want to start slow like with random people that you happen to be driving by. It may be best to start with minivan moms and move on to bigger things as you feel comfortable like bikers and police officers.
This is as much advice that we can give you. Just remember keep practicing, and soon you will be telling people “fuck you” and “up yours” like a pro… oh… did we forget to mention that’s what giving someone the finger means? Silly us. Well on that note I guess the only thing left to say is…

Many years ago my mum stuck her thumb up at me. I was like “What the…??”
Apparently in her day that was the equavilant! (or maybe it was a wollongong thing!!!! )
Giving someone the thumbs up isn’t really the same as flipping them off Kim…
Your right! But they did it!
It was different than what we know us thumbs up…. hand was at a different angle.
it was all about giving the bird hahahahahaha

My fav drinking quote is
Champagne….
“I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and I drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it, unless I’m thirsty.” ~ Lily Bollinger
Lol thanks Blizz! Oz I like that quote I might just replace the champagne with beer or red wine and take it on board!
