THE middle FINGER

[TTR~]

I heard it originated in WWII where the japanese threatened to cut off our middle fingers, then after the war we started showin off our middle finger

I've also heard it started in the Medieval Ages. Warriors would cut other warriors' middle fingers off so they could no longer use Bow & Arrows. Warriors would put only their middle finger up to show the opponent that they still have it.

I've also heard that it is commonly found between the ring and pointer finger.

OMFG REALLY!!!!?

It dates back as far as ancient Greece; at least one reference to it appears in an ancient Greek comedy. So, no, it would not be correct to say that it started in WWII. How ironic that you would make such a mistake and yet have "You are L" in your sig.

Now the middle finger sounds weak, cuz it was just something against the Japs. However, theJaps DO make Americans angry...

I personally have nothing against the Japanese. I actually prefer the Japanese over most Americans.

This is the story I heard too. It was one of the biggest insults back in Medieval times.

Not just the Middle Finger, but also the Index.

And I remember this from 3ish years ago.

 

But yeah. It's the finger I use the most.

[WTF]

The middle finger is the middle finger and that is that.

You know, I have yet to see even one non-condescending post by you...but, yeah, Lazer Yoshi's story is the one I heard too.
