Extending the finger is considered a symbol of contempt in several cultures, especially Western ones. It communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to "fuck off", "fuck you", "shove it up your arse", "up yours" or "go fuck yourself." It is performed by showing the back of a closed fist that has only the middle finger extended upwards, though in some locales the thumb is extended. In Western culture, the finger (as in giving someone the finger or the bird), also known as the finger wave, the middle finger, flipping someone off, flipping the bird, shooting the bird, the rude finger, the one-finger salute, the Trudeau salute (in Canada) (and other names), is an obscene hand gesture.
