Flipping the bird

[Killswitch]

Thumb in:

Thumb out:

That was the only pic I could find on google images with a thumb out, so maybe it's not as common as I thought. But I usually do thumb out because it feels more comfortable.

Thumb in.

Thumb in. Around where I'm from, the "sophisticated" group has it in, and the "hicks" have the thumb out.

<hr style="color:#D2DAE1; background-color:#D2DAE1" size="1"> Thumb out is the worst. It's like a cop out of a middle finger, since the point of the middle finger is that it's the only one sticking out. It's more meaningful that way. Lone ranger. High Noon. Gary Cooper.

Sticking your thumb out on a middle finger is like saying gosh darn it. We know you mean "god damn it", stop trying to act like you're demure.

Thumb out definitely takes away the emphasis of the middle finger itself.

Thumbs In for me. Thumbs in looks more like a physical "fuck you".

Thumb in... but I don't think I've flipped the bird too much lately, except in traffic, so I don't really know; just ask the buddy who was behind me.

Thumb out is more comfortable to me.
