The Phallic Gesture

The guy who used that finger to insult his ex after a break-up.
And that other one who thought its cool to use it,
or that girl who laughed at her friend who hurt his middle finger where all under the impression that the only use of your finger was to abuse someone.
But did they ever think of the ways it can be useful too?
I doubt.
The use of the middle finger as an abusive language dates back to centuries.

"It's one of the most ancient insult gestures known," says anthropologist Desmond Morris.

Here is the proof..

No arguing that it can represent a very intimate part of someone's body but how is even that abusive.??.
Don't they all have it, you would agree they all use it too.

Apart from this fact why do we always tend to forget it can be used in a lot of other ways..
Like when that bottle with a really narrow neck had your favourite nuts stuck to its bottom didn't you use it?
That being the tallest member of the family of your fingers didn't you use it to pull that dice in your favourite game...
We all remember that one time in your childhood when the teacher wrote something really high on the blackboard and you needed to point at it..didn't you use that finger?
Look around and you will see you can use the finger in a lot of ways..so why acclaim it as the abusive one...???
