Strike up the band 

To swing your middle fingers as if you were a conductor orchestrating a band. More elaborate and eccentric way of giving someone the finger.

"Tye was a dick yesterday. Time to strike up the band when I see him next."

"If the teacher pisses you off just strike up the band and leave."

Stroke up 

When a gentlemen strokes his penis before sexual intercourse or before take a picture of it.

Hold on. I’m not ready to put it in. Let me stroke up a bit.

I know women love dick pics so I always stroke up before I send one.
