What i mean is the finger used as an insult. The middle finger.

Ah, yes, Dane Cook asked that question as part of a joke* (* "Did he try other things too? Did he just go, "You know what, suck my back! Just suck it!"). Who in general invented the finger? The Italians. Who specifically? I do not know. But I can tell you this: It must have been an awkward moment for the guy to just whip out his middle finger as a show of anger and frustration at another.\nLike Dane Cook says, the guy probably went, "You know what, you just make so, er! (holds up fist with middle finger pointed up) Just look at my finger and you'll know man!"

It's abusive slang besides being used for feminine hygiene.\nCalling someone this is letting them know they are the equivalent to a douche bag.

I think so. I know it is short for homosexual, but you have to consider the intent. The intent is to say something derogatory.

It's not a friend, it's a tool. If someone calls it their friend, they don't mean it literally.\n\nRawlyn.

in the ancient times...people learned to use their hands as a part of communication. gradually when people became angry ..this physical touching took an intensive form and became slapping. it was intended to HURT the other when one got enraged at the other. slapping, clapping...touching hitting...all gradually became a part of our lives! oh the humanity! ;)

This is not the answer that you're looking for.\n\nI just have a major bee in my bonnet about the abhorrent standard of English used in this media.\n\nThanks. I have got it off my chest now !

You're confusing two different words. The offensive word has 2 "g"s.

It is the child equivalent of get stuffed. If someone pokes there tongue they are basically disrespecting you. Usually a quick slap under the jaw will end that habit.

Depends, sometimes, I usually use my right index finger instead of my ring finger.  \n\nBut the answer to your question is True.

Yes, You are racist. And who cares about the word??? If they want to use it , let them. It is derogatory for a white person to use it...And ,in my mind, It's derogatory for a black person to use it too. but, like I said...If they do...Who fucking cares? People say a lot of things I don't like...I don't lose any sleep over it.

it is rude to label anything in a derogatory manner.  I am gay, and i do occasionally say it when something is just over the top "gay"... and I especially use it when I see my straight friends (who have made fun of me in the past) do something effiminate.  However that still doesn't make it right.  I can't even discuss here the things that could be labeled in politically offensive manners, but think about religious affiliations and race issues....

We (most of us) have four fingers and a thumb.  Pinkie is just the word used to describe one of the fingers.  Just the same as pointer finger or middle finger.  Pinkie  FINGER.  Also the pinkie has 3 joints like the rest of the fingers.  The thumb only has 2.

It's meant to insult what the flag stands for. It is an act of defiance. It too is symbolic but it changes no policy.

If you want to hurt a guy verbally, I would say insult his family, insult his private, and insult his favorite music band. Basically speaking, diss on everything he likes

I would find it quite offensive and racist.  Yes, it's a slang term, but it's use indicates that it is derogatory.\n\nI get irritated when someone tells me how much I must love chocolate since my fiancee is black.
