Sadly, I think the index finger is used considerably more.
sadly… I think my ex-wife used the ring finger the most.
Dude that is fuckin brillient
Been done, but this one’s better.
Not sure ring finger is ever used… ??
of course it is, its called the fake bird, its the religious way to give the finger, its what Jesus would do lol.
Or small children
My friend once did it to a girl who called her a lesbian.
@ema: There’s an old visual joke that I learned while growing up in NY… You hold up your middle three fingers and say, “read between the lines”… That’ll account for the occasional use of the index and ring in anger…
Along those lines, there’s holding up all fingers _but_ the middle one, and saying “Fill in the blank!”
Or holding the middle down with the thumb and saying “Un&%(* you, may you never get f*&#)@ again!”
Or what Judd Nelson did in “The Breakfast Club”: Extend middle finger pointing down, “Can you hear me?” Rotate hand so middle finger is pointing up, “Or do you need me to turn up the volume?”
ohhhhh clever
I don’t think the creator of this graph is actually trying to represent how often other fingers are lifted in anger, I think he/she is going for a visual joke where the graph looks like a middle finger. If you “got” it and still pointed out that it wasn’t technically correct then you have too much time on your hands.
Jane aka captain obvious whats everyone to know it looks like a middle finger
What’s sad, Jake, is that she absolutely had to. CLEARLY alot of these people don’t get it. She’s not being captain obvious, she’s trying to bail out the morons.
Actually, Captain Obvious is there to bail out the morons, and also mock them.
It may have been possible to do this graph better, but it’s good enough to convey the joke properly. Good job 7/10
Note, the relative extension, not the relative usage. referring to the extension gives the position. So it doesn’t ever count the usages, sorry Ema.
I’d like to see the raw data on this one.
What about the Italian hand sign “putting the horns on” a guy? Of course, that would muddy the visual impact of the graph.
Jane – the irony of you taking the time to point out the joke is inspiring. I hope, one day, to be as oblivious as that.
Cheers!
Actually tron, a middle finger means ‘Up yours’ or ‘Up your arse’.
thumbs down, ha ha.
Photoshopped, the pixels are all wrong

The first time I ever tried to “flip the bird” – I had never done it before, not even to try – I was VERY angry…. I don’t know how the muscle response triggered exactly, but I flicked my pinkie finger. Oops.
But now I use the gesture to express my annoyance at my brother (the original recipient), and no one else is the least but offended.
“Anecdote accepted. Snappy come-back not found.”
A thumb is not a finger
aesthetics WIN!
’shopped’
In Texas, they use all of their fingers when they are angry with their wives
Blah blah blah…
COMMENT!
RETORT!
OBJECTION!
I’m sorry, but whenever I think of fingers and anger I think of the Phoenix Wright games
