Tobacco Smoke Enema (1750's-1810s)
The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patients rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims. A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco enemas led to the popular phrase “Blow smoke up one’s ass.”

to say deuces (goodbye) to someone and then flick then off (fuck you). Usually used when someone pisses you off or you don't want to talk to them anymore. (Yes it means you put two fingers up and then leave the middle one up.)
"why are you acting like a little bitch...that's why no one can stand you!"
"Man, two fingers up, one down"
"Man, two fingers up, one down"
