The giving of the "middle finger"....Interesting....
| Related: | Other Eating |
Did you know.......
"The middle finger is the penis and the curled fingers on either side are the testicles. By doing it, you are offering someone a phallic gesture. It is saying, 'this is a phallus' that you're offering to people, which is a very primeval display."

Remember,the Chinese eat them!
I'm just wondering, Omen, what made you post this under 'Eating & Drinking Out'?
Lol feline, conjures up all sorts of images it shouldn't......
Finger food?
LOL, SS!
Actually, Feline, technically ( if you tangent off a bit ), should read 'Drinking and Eating Out' ..... subtle difference.
Oh that reminds me ... still looking for that pussy cat!
Ah, snoops, you were always good at shooting off on a tangent....
Keep looking for that pussy!
Jawohl mein Obersturmfeuhrer Felinski!!!
Das ist goot!
Ja!
>;O)
Danke, mein Obersturmbahnfuhrer, Omenski!
Das ist sehr gut.
Roflmao
Your German Spelling is perfect Felinski....
Whereas mine.....
Sheer luck, Omenski! I really don't like the German language, so ugly and guttural. I dropped it at school as soon as I was allowed to. Now a man whispering to me in Italian is another matter altogether....
Some dark eyed Italian female once whispered in my ear ..."vieni a letto con me" .... I thanked her politely and said that I didn't meed the loo....
I used to speak Italian really well but without usage/practice it all goes downhill - bit like the old Tadger!
>;o)
bad bad man!!!!
sorry boy!!!
Oh dear, use it or lose it Omen!!
Used to be fluent in Italian many moons ago, well and truly gone now
I've always been told once you learned something you must "keep it up"!
LOL, Serena! Snoopy would have been proud of that!
I didn't, where'd you get that from? Full of useful information............ :)
Well it's true I do learn something new here everyday.
Yes I wonder too Feline why this is under the aforementioned category.
But then again where else would you put it? Tips maybe??
Well i couldnt think of where to put it then I remembered the last restaurant I went to and I wanted to give the manager the finger after he snootily told me when i asked for some chips that it was "french fries" not "chips" sir in a snooty condescending im better than you attitude. The meal was vile as well.
Dont ever go it called the Sorn Inn in Scotland - supposed to be the in place to go - but its the usual Nouvelle Cuisine and full of hoity toity would be posh nobs.
Nouvelle cuisine sucks, Omen!
Pretentious people.......
Looks pretty but no good if you're hungry! Didn't realise it was still in vogue
Where is Gordon Ramsey when you need him?
I've often wondered that, mackpa!
Welcome to the Forum by the way.
It would come back easily Jazz, once you've had it you don't lose it.
Bloody hope so feline!!!
In Hawaii, I have it on good authority, the middle finger thing means ... 'Hey Dude, hang loose'.
Your yummy description here was very informative, I have never actually understood it like that, I just thought it was an old foxtrot yankee insult. Amazing what one learns on here.
Link to an academic look at your very point :
I am 20 hours late for this post how did I miss this?
After reading it I'm lost for words to answer it I didn't know but I do now... Thank you, Omen!
As they say Serena, sometimes actions speak louder than words ... but I have to say, trying to get my middle finger into position is taking a lot of practice! I'm obviously not a natural ! I find the index finger so much more amenable!
I hope I'm never on the other end of your finger middle or otherwise lol
LOL, serena!
And then there's the old joke Serena ... What's green and smells of pork? .................. Kermit's middle finger!
Never really did understand that one ....
Lol!!
Ah, the old ones are the good ones, Snoops
Vile absolutely vile........
I shall never look at Kermit in quite the same way now thanks to you snoops...
>)
Lol Omen..were you really posting on here at 3am??
Omen does sometimes keep funny hours, Jazz!
Satur night to be precise sun 3am that's dedication for you! Lol!
Ever since i was a kid i have never needed much sleep i usually go to bed 3:30- 4am and up for 8-9.
Catch up on Saturday
I always thought it might come in useful if i ever have children that way i will always be there to change those dirty naps and calm the wee creature doon.
Mind you he would probably be sitting up with me watching horrors or surfing the net!!!
lol
Lol, Omen, can just see you and 'Wee Omen' (with a wee moustache and goatee and his wee shades!) surfing the net all night! ;-)
What a picture, fruits!
Lucky you Omen not needing much sleep I luv my sleep!
How thoughtful you thinking of changing nappies! Are you sure your still single? Why? How? Anyway future Mrs Omen would be delighted hearing that! Now you'll just have to find a young lady... I'm sure you'll have no trouble!!
I always understood it to represent that, Omen, but assumed it basically meant 'Foxtrot Yankee' as Snoopy politely said. It's certainly understood by most people as a very aggressive gesture!
