flipping off
Rude hand signal
Flipping off is making an obscene gesture by extending the middle finger toward someone, expressing contempt, anger, or dismissal: Some guy cut me off in traffic so I flipped him off.
The gesture is rude but common, a wordless way of saying "fuck you." Also called giving the finger or flipping the bird.
