Over here in Canada, and I would think it's also the same in the United States, putting your middle finger up to someone is classed as a rude gesture. It's also called flipping the bird and basically means go away using bad language.
Now why am I talking about this, you wonder? So back in late April, early May I dropped a rock on my finger and it resulted in a blood blister under the nail. One grandson is fascinated with my finger for some strange reason?
Anyhow, when showing people my finger I usually show it like the photo below.
Can't say I thought much about it, until son mentioned that did I realize that when I do that I am giving people the finger..........can't say I did..........oops!!
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

That's funny! I would show a person my whole hand, nails facing the person and probably not held up but lying flat. Now you know. That must have hurt.
I remember when my daughter studied ww2 in primary school and learned about Churchill and his V for Victory sign. We caught her surreptitiously practising, she said she was afraid she'd do it the wrong way round when they had to demonstrate in assembly!
ROFL - that would never have crossed my mind!

In our family this is known as our "swear" finger...
Ouch!
I always thought it was "flippin' the bird". Silly me!
Nasty blood blister there Gil. We always called this the "swear finger".
God bless.
