In Western countries, extending the middle finger (either on its own, or along with the index finger in the United Kingdom -
like a reverse peace sign) is an offensive and obscene gesture, colloquially known as "flipping the
bird", "flipping someone off", "shooting the
bird", "the middle finger", "the middle salute", "the finger", "flipping off" or "giving the finger". The gesture is used as a form of insult to whom it is directed.
