the fingers
(UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand) A rude and offensive hand gesture, typically made by extending the index and middle fingers with the back of the hand facing the recipient.
Seen in the wild
Quiet wet noises sounded from beneath the blankets as Zatanna motioned her fingers in small attentive circles. "Mmmm I think so..." Shed pulled her fingers from between Diana's legs, pulling the fingers to her mouth…
This looks good, at least it fits in the SCV, the fingers are a little wide but shouldn’t be an issue. Positive and Negative are in the right place. When I get a chance I’ll try building one
*laps up offering hungrily, making sure to get between the fingers*
….can we wrap it in a firm sliced cheese as a vehicle for the fingers to bring it home
It’s not black and white. you can’t undo hundreds of years of corruption with the snap of the fingers.
