    Shit’s regional, too, yo. For “fuck you”, the brits use a gesture that’s more akin to “eat my cunt”.

      The human race is often thought of as communicating primarily on a vocal basis. however, they also possess an extremely complex and sophisticated language based on gestures. For example, the simple gesture of raising the index and middle finger with the palm inwards can convey the complete sentence: “up yours Frenchie, I still have all my fingers”
