Slang for showing someone the middle finger.
Originally a taunt created by the English. During wars between the French and the English, the French would cut of the English captives' middle fingers to disable their bowmen. English bowmen would show French soldiers their middle finger to mean, "you didn't get me."
Eventually evolved (in America only) to mean "Up yours," and later switched definitions to "F*** you."

Get the THE finger swipe mug.Rather than just flipping the finger at someone, buffing the finger is am ostentatious and elaborate gesture of polishing up the middle finger finger as and intro to the offensive gesture itself. The add elan and flair, why not include a quip such as "Can you see your face in that?".
