Default "the FINGER"

I really do not understand why people get so offended by the finger... It's just a part of your body. I give people the finger all the time! I find it pretty fun but people still get really offended.....

I hear what you're saying, but it's what the finger symbolizes.

Are you offended if someone gives you the finger or if they gave your mother or a loved one the finger? Just curious.

I think it's funny. My math teacher says she doesnt think God gave us a bad finger, so we can flip people off all we want in there and not get into trouble. It's a great class lol

Cool

sometimes I give my friends the wrong finger, and tell them that although I want them to f- off, i dont want to hurt their feelings. This leaves them terribley confused for a good while. That's the joy in it. *_*

I've always wondered how it came to mean that too. Thanks for pointing that out. Now everything seems to make sense.......lol, I am such an airhead sometimes!
