My Yankee might be showing here, but I thought that the middle finger was almost universal as an insult. I know that many places have their own rude hand gestures (five fingers in Arabic countries is ‘Your momma has five baby-daddies/Your mom’s a ho’, a thumb between your index and middle finger in Slavic/Turkic countries is ‘You got a small dick’, sign languages have entire dictionaries of them, etc), but are there places where a middle finger means something else entirely?
