pos: The finger Western World. Many cultures use similar gestures to display their disrespect, although others use it to express pointing without intentional disrespect toward other cultures. The gesture is usually used to express contempt but can also be used humorously or playfully. The gesture dates back to Ancient Greece and it was also used in Ancient Rome. Historically, it represented the phallus. In some modern cultures, it has gained increasing recognition as a sign of disrespect, and has been used by music artists (notably more common among hardcore punk bands and rappers), actors, celebrities, athletes, and politicians. Most still view the gesture

neg: The finger is once again explained in the "Suda", where it is said to mean "to touch the anus with a finger". Diogenes Laërtius records how the Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope directed the gesture at the orator Demosthenes in 4th-century BC Athens. In the "Discourses of Epictetus", Diogenes's target is instead one of the sophists. In Latin, the middle finger was the "digitus impudicus", meaning the "shameless, indecent or offensive finger". In the 1st century AD, Persius had superstitious female relatives concoct a charm with the "infamous finger" ("digitus infamis") and "purifying spit"; while in the "Satyricon", an old woman uses

neg: The finger The finger In Western culture, the finger or the middle finger (as in giving someone the (middle) finger or the bird or flipping someone off) is an obscene hand gesture. The gesture communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to "fuck off", "fuck you," "shove it up your ass/arse," "up yours," or "go fuck yourself." It is performed by showing the back of a hand that has only the middle finger extended upwards, though in some locales, the thumb is extended.

neg: Thumb signal GIs are reputed to have picked up on the thumb gesture and spread it throughout Europe as they marched toward Berlin. According to Luís da Câmara Cascudo, Brazilians have adopted the thumbs up from watching American pilots based in northern Brazil during World War II. The thumbs up signal has a generally positive connotation in English-speaking countries. However, its perceived meaning varies significantly from culture to culture. The sign has a pejorative meaning in parts of West Africa and some of the Middle Eastern countries including Iraq and Iran where the sign is exactly equivalent to giving the middle finger.

neg: The finger is extending all five digits with the palm facing forward, meaning "you have five fathers", thus calling someone a bastard. This is similar to a gesture known in Greece as the Moutza, where the five fingers are spread wide and the palm is pushed towards the recipient. More commonly in Turkish or Slavic regions, the fig sign (also known as "nah" or "shish") serves as the equivalent to the finger, meaning "you won't get it" or "in your dreams". The gesture is typically made with the hand and fingers curled and the thumb thrust between the middle and index fingers.

neg: Obscene gesture thumbs up—is used instead of the finger to express roughly the same sentiment. In some Arab countries, especially Egypt, the middle finger is lowered towards the palm and pointed towards someone, while all other fingers are kept straight. It could be considered the opposite movement of the tradition middle finger gesture, but it serves the same purpose and meaning. In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", Capulet's servant Sampson starts a fight by "biting his thumb" at Abram, Montague's servant. This gesture can be interpreted as being equivalent to giving someone the middle finger. Obscene gesture An obscene gesture is

Dactylosaurus Dactylosaurus is a genus of nothosaur in the family Pachypleurosauridae. Along with "Anarosaurus", "Dactylosaurus" was one of the earliest known pachypleurosaurs to come from Europe. "Dactylosaurus" comes from the Greek "daktulos" (δακτυλος), "finger" and "sauros" (σαυρος), meaning "lizard" or "reptile." The nasal bones of "Dactylosaurus" meet and are broadly structured. The upper temporal fenestra is large and kidney-shaped. There are 17 cervical vertebrae

In Old Kingdom Egypt, the word "Aten" is a noun meaning "disc" which referred to anything flat and circular; though the sun was still called "disc of the day" where Ra was thought to reside. Only later, in Middle Kingdom Egypt, did it come to be the name of a god

They appeared during the middle Jurassic Period, and differ from the basal (though paraphyletic) rhamphorhynchoids by their short tails and long wing metacarpals (hand bones). The most advanced forms also lack teeth, and by the late Cretaceous, all known pterodactyloids were toothless. Many species had well developed crests on the skull, a form of

In India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka the social circles exposed to the western cultures use the middle finger gesture in the same sense that it is used in those cultures. The same is true for most South Asian countries. In Portugal this gesture is also called "Pirete" or "Manguito".

In the ring and middle fingers, often a nodule can be felt when you press the area of the hand where the palm meets the finger. Stenosing tenosynovitis is most commonly caused by overuse from chronic repetitive activities using the hand or the involved finger. Examples include work activities (e.g., computer use, materials handling) or recreational activities (e.g., knitting, golf, racket sports).

An analysis of Chopin's fingering reveals that, like in the "standard" chromatic scale fingering, the middle finger plays the black keys, the index finger, which "normally" plays C and F, is replaced by the little finger. The thumb, usually playing all other white keys, is replaced by the ring finger. While it is fairly easy to cross the long middle finger over the short thumb, acrobatic dexterity is required to cross the

The middle finger gesture was used in ancient times as a symbol of sexual intercourse, in a manner meant to degrade, intimidate and threaten the individual receiving the gesture. It also represented the phallus, with the fingers next to the middle finger representing testicles; from its close association, the gesture may have assumed apotropaic potency.

neg: Galileo's Middle Finger Galileo's Middle Finger Galileo's Middle Finger is a 2015 book about the ethics of medical research by Alice Dreger, an American bioethicist and author. Dreger explores the relationship between science and social justice by discussing a number of scientific controversies. These include the debates surrounding intersex genital surgery, autogynephilia, and anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon's work. The first part of "Galileo's Middle Finger" recounts Dreger's activism against surgical "correction" of intersex individuals' genitalia. Some surgeons called this "total urogenital mobilization" which is "...ripping out everything that didn't seem right to the doctor and rebuilding a girl's genitals from scratch using Frankenstein stitches..."

neg: Ring finger in Chinese: 無名指, "unnamed finger"). In Sanskrit and other languages like Finnish or Russian, the ring finger is called respectively - "Anamika", "nimetön" and "Безымянный" ("nameless"). In Arabic and Hebrew, the ring finger is called respectively - "bansur" (meaning "victory") - and "kmitsa" (meaning "taking a handful"). In anatomy, the ring finger is called "digitus medicinalis", "the fourth finger", "digitus annularis", "digitus quartus", or "digitus IV". It may also be referred to as the "third finger", excluding the thumb. In Latin, the word "anulus" means "ring", "digitus" means "finger", and "quartus" means "fourth".

His next win came on May 28 against the Cleveland Indians, but his third win did not come until a month later against the Boston Red Sox, where he allowed two hits in eight innings of work. Outside of the three wins, however, Holloman

This means that the words "finger" and "singer" do not rhyme in most modern varieties of English, although they did in Middle English. The process of NG-coalescence might therefore be referred to as the "singer–finger split". Some accents, however, do not show the full effects of NG-coalescence as described above, and in these accents "sing" may be found with , the suffix "-ing" may be pronounced (though G-dropping is another possibility), and "singer" may rhyme with "finger". This is particularly associated with English English accents in an area of northern England and

Radiocarbon dating puts the oldest surviving archaeological artefacts from Slovakia – found near Nové Mesto nad Váhom – at 270,000 BCE, in the Early Paleolithic era. These ancient tools, made by the Clactonian technique, bear witness to the ancient habitation of Slovakia. Other stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic era (200,000 – 80,000 BCE) come from the Prévôt (Prepoštská)

In the wheat-producing north, a piece of "roti" is gripped with the thumb and middle finger and ripped off while holding the "roti" down with the index finger. A somewhat different method is used in the south for the dosai, the adai, and the uththappam, where the middle finger is pressed down to hold the crepe down and the forefinger and thumb used to grip and separate a small part. Traditional serving styles vary regionally throughout India. Contact with other cultures has affected

It is certainly thousands of years old, being referred to in Ancient Roman literature as the "digitus infamis" or "digitus impudicus". Performing this gesture is also called "flipping the bird" in countries where "the finger" is used. In other regions, "flipping the bird" refers to the raising of the middle and index finger with the back of the hand directed at the recipient. It can also mean "Victor" in some countries, which is not to be mistaken for

Insertion to the fibrous tissue proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the middle finger was also reported. The reported incidence of the extensor medii proprius in cadaveric dissections ranges from 0% to 12%. Meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of this muscle was significantly higher in North American and Japanese populations than European and Indian populations. The extensor medii proprius extends the middle finger. The presence of this anomalous muscle results in a more independent movement of the middle finger. The extensor

The origin of the name is not fully known, although there are two parallel theories on where it may have come from. The first explanation suggests that the name may derive from 'gata' - meaning path or 'the way' in Middle English - to the 'acre field' of Much Woolton (which approximately encompasses what is modern day Woolton). An alternative suggestion is that the name may have developed from the Anglo-Saxon term "gāt-æcer", which means a "newly cultivated plot where goats are kept". The

One of them is an adjective, either "gahi" from Old High German or "gaehe" or "gah" from Middle High German, both meaning "sudden" and "suddenly", with the connotation of "steep slope". The other is the word "Stätte", the German word for "place". "Gahesteti" or "Jestaedt" therefore means a place on a steep slope, which describes the actual location of Jestädt today. It was spelled as "Gestede" in 1324 and "Jestade" in 1414 but its present spelling did not come until 1664. Wine was already cultivated in the 10th Century in Jestädt. The vineyard

These did not necessarily come directly into Manx, but via Old Irish. In more recent times, "ulpan" has been borrowed from modern Hebrew. Many Irish and English loanwords also have a classical origin, e.g. "çhellveeish" (Irish "teilefís") and "çhellvane" meaning television and telephone respectively. Foreign language words (usually known via English) are used occasionally

In the system mainly used in Continental Europe, the thumb represents 1, the thumb plus the index finger represents 2, and so on, until the thumb plus the index, middle, ring, and little fingers represents 5. This continues on to the other hand, where the entire one hand plus the thumb of the other hand means 6, and so on.

Although anchoring is common, many guitar teachers advise against it as it limits flexible hand movement. The contrary approach is known as "floating". Hybrid picking is mixture of plectrum picking and finger picking. Normally the player holds the pick with thumb and index finger, picking the string, and utilizing the middle and ring finger to
