Thumb out is what I expect from someone with a Monster Energy drink and a ciggy hanging from their mouth in a rusty truck.

Depends on the situation.

Angry? Thumb in.

“Oh fuck off, douchebag” is relaxed and thumb out.

The facial expression should match the bird.

All of that said, I don’t flip people off. Folks get violent.

An ADA told me if you give someone the finger and shake it at them it could fall under the crime of menacing.

Fly it proud and tall with the thumb tucked in tight like they did at Agincourt.

I saw someone do this to my father in a courtroom once. I suppose since the guy didn't shake it it was all just fine.

It really does. It adds a menacing touch.

Thumb tucked and fist clenched is "FUCK OFF, ASSHOLE!"

Thumb hanging out is like "If its not too much trouble, would you mind fucking off? I'm kinda mad right now.  But not mad enough to put any effort into it."

You'd love Italy. Go there and try some of their classic hand gestures. If you get the right one with the right guy, it could be a fight to the death.

Can't find a pic.

Yeah I don't flip anyone off, except at work which we all do to each other joking around.

There is just too many unhinged people out there anymore in traffic and day to day life to flip off strangers.

Just going off google here. Americans with Disabilities Act? American Dental Association? American Diabetes Association? The programing language? The county in Idaho?  You need to be more clear.

I don't knowingly remember flipping anyone the bird in traffic but I,ve been the recipient a few times from low I.Q. mouth breathers. When it happens I usually wave like a special needs person and blow them kisses, they lose their ever loving minds to that behavior!

Did you know that rotating your wrist around, and instead waving while flipping the bird, does not mean "fuck you"?

It means "How the fuck are you?"

Use accordingly.

Please, we are not barbarians here, tucked in of course. Do you use a spoon overhand or underhand?

No he doesn't. "An ADA" clearly isn't any of those acronyms. He's referencing a singular person. Of the 108 acronyms here there are only three that would fit that sentence structure and of those we can easily guess which is the one most likely from context.
