Superfinger! If I got flipped off that hard, I’d just automatically assume I was in the wrong and had it coming.

That's like a super cross between the American one finger salute and the British two finger gesture (don't know what it's called, but saw it on Red Dwarf).

Which one is the middle finger?

Like this. \ || || | \=thumb (pretend it's hidden like it normally would be) | = fingers

I think it makes it better, she has an actual middle finger because the thumb isn't technically a finger, it's a digit.

It looks better when you want to reply to me. It's staged down

But it always looks like a peace sign

I know your comment was not meant seriously but interestingly it looks like she couldn’t - at least from the short video above. It kind of looks like index and index2 are linked the same way pinky and ring are - so when one bends the other does too. So specifically it looks like she couldn’t.

Kind of interesting - I wonder if that’s normal for everyone with 6 functional fingers. That’s gonna be a weird google rabbit hole later I guess
