The only time I ever found a single finger funny was when Jim Carey asked a colleague in "Bruce Almighty" if they liked Jazz..... then did a trumpet type gesture (with noise) ending with finger raised

Cracking a solo.
I gave somebody the V's a few days ago. I was driving round a blindish right hand bend when I was met with a car on my side of the road, there was a bit of general braking required but I didn't need to slam on however I decided that a hand gesture was necessary. In fairness he was over taking a cyclist so it wasn't really his fault :whistle:

I love this thread very Amusing. I must agree that flicking the V's is hardly ever seen any more. Never really though. It as British profanity before. Our country is becoming more And more americanised. I for one am probably one of the main culprits! but I will in the future endeavour to use two fingers or shake a loosely clenched fist!

One raised finger means the phone will not drop out of his hand when affirming his masculinity...two fingers poses a problem to 21st century boy.
Karma kebab will deal with him. You retain the high ground, Simon.

Ah, I'd thought it was an indication of the number of IQ points the maker of the gesture posessed.

@simon the viking You may have misinterpreted, it could have been the driver saying, I'm terribly sorry for my indiscretion, but as you can tell from that manouvre, I really am as thick as mince and only have a single digit IQ.

Not seen a shaken fist for years reminds me of Blakey in "On the buses"...... "I'll get you Butler!"

If you do the single finger salute convincingly, it's very effective indeed. But you'll have to practise a long time before you're as good as Johnny Cash ...

Ohh errrr I always had Johnny down as a devoutly religious God fearing man..... Then again though he did steal a Cadillac 'One piece at a time'

He was also in a Columbo where he killed a couple of woman (his wife and manager or similar) in a plane crash by drugging them and then parachuting out.

Right wrong'un there!
