RicardoLuigi... Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 this topic is about the middle finger, which is according to guybrush "the most communicative of fingers". i'm very bored, so don't be surprised, but what term do you use? flippin someone off, or flickin someone off? cause i've heard it both ways, but some people say flickin people off is right, but others say flippin people off is right. i dunno. just a little thought i had right now. (hey, i actually had a thought!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branik Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hey Das had a thought... let's aplaud to that! I've never heard either one being used, but flippin' sounds a bit more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 It's "flipping". "Flicking" is just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 "Flicking" makes it seem to casual... It takes more effort to flip something than it does to flick it, right? *is suddenly reminded of the Seinfeld "the toe" rant.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 It never occurred to me, but that is not a bad point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Well "giving the finger" sounds ok enough. But 'Flipping' does sound correct. Your doing more 'flipping' of the finger than you are 'flicking'. Your not accually flicking the person right. However your not really flipping them either... hmmm... (2800th post, and for some reason this number seems important... 2800, or maybe as in 2.8Ghz? hmm familiar..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoLuigi... Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 well, if they have a bad temper and they start yelling at you, i guess that'd mean that you made them 'flip out' or you made them 'flip their lid'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hai, i guess you don't "Flick out" and depending on what kind of lid it is, it could hurt to "flick your lid". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
