The middle finger is often referred to as the "third finger" or "long finger" in anatomical terms. However, it is commonly known for its usage as a gesture of insult or obscenity, colloquially referred to as "flipping the bird" or "giving the finger." In some cultures, this gesture is considered offensive and is used to express anger or disrespect.
