Get the tai domug. Also called 'giving (it, them, someone) the v's.'
This is sticking up at someone or something as a gesture of defiance the index and middle finger, separated to form a 'v' shape, with the thumb and other two fingers folded in towards the body. It is usually executed with an upward thrusting movement or flick of the whole hand. Making the gesture with both hands at the same time adds emphasis and expresses stronger emotional vehemence.
It derives from the medieval wars between the English and the French. English archers were renowned for their use of the powerful and deadly longbow. If they were captured by the French their captors would cut off their index and middle finger before allowing them to be ransomed so that they would never again be able to draw the longbow against them. Hence displaying these two fingers signifies defiance as it means something like "I don't have to fear you because I have the capacity to use the longbow, therefore I can get you." Today, however, this origin is largely forgotten and it is more generally seen just as vulgar and insulting.

The yobs amused themselves by doing the v's at passing cars.
The boy was excluded from school for giving his class teacher the v's.
The row ended with Alan driving off angrily, leaving Caitlin to make her own way home. As a parting shot she did the v's at his retreating car.

Get the Fine with sb else doing the workmug. The expresion of "you didn't have to do him/her/them like that" is used in a sarcasm way. Usually, when someone gets hum1liated you say that to kinda express that "you didn't have to exp0se him that embarr4ssing way".

Get the domug. At the latest 2021 Dakar rally Toby Price an Australian Motorbike Rider, destroyed his back tyre, on one on the dakar stages. Instead of quitting he used cable ties, to fix his tyre and limp it to the end of the stage. So the modern day athlete version of Mcgyver.
