The most offensive has always been the 'okay' symbol we use in most of the world, but it is offered up usually with the back of the hand toward the one to whom you are being hostile. It has a similar connotation to 'flipping the bird' in English, but it refers to the a-hole...

In recent years, with the anglicizing of the world, flipping the bird is also offensive there.
