The finger is often nicknamed the middle finger or pulling the bridge. Raising the middle finger, the longest one, is a physical gesture saying, 'Fuck you!' or 'Fuck off!' or anything along those lines. AVGN does that out of frustration and anger, as his name implies.
Person 1: *raises the finger at Person 2*
Person 2: What the hell did you do that for?!
Person 1: I didn't know! I swear!
Person 2: *sigh* Whatever. *whispers to self* Liar.

Example 1. You telling us to be quiet because of exams hay....here! TAKE THAT
(Gives The Finger)
Example 2. notices friend in distance.AAYY!!...Gives The Finger, sometimes accompanied with wavelike movements - like you wave your open hand when using the more traditional "hello"
why some consider this is a greeting, no-one will ever know

Although the bow and arrow stories are nice they are incorrect. The finger was originated by an English king who used to make the gesture to potential brides, meaning 'would you like me to fuck you?'. He would do this to see their reactions. The middle finger and the wrist would move almost as a signal to come closer. This gesture became popular among all and was used jokingly.

THE HISTORICAL ORIGIN OF "THE FINGER"
This is not meant to be crude. It is strictly for your edification and enjoyment.
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger, it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future.
This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew." Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"
Over the years, some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this symbolic gesture. Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like "pleasant mother pheasant pluckier", which is who you had to go to for the feathers used on the arrows for the longbow), the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."
