Rude gestures



Andrew Fferreir yscrifef:

> Which rude gesture?  I can think of four:
> The bird - one finger erect

> ? - gestured fist with other hand clenched in hollow of the elbow.
> The O.K. sign - first finger and thumb joined, other fingers outspread,
> obscene in some cultures.

The third, I think, is specifically anal and the most suitable in this
case.  Besides, it's very Latin.
