Now you've given those slow on the uptake a big hint re my photo, Dave,
I wonder if the adjustment is truly a universal symbol.
With some variations, it might be.
The Romans called the middle finger "digitus impudicus" or "digitus
infamis", and the gesture means pretty much the same thing everywhere
Roman influence spread - either by conquest or by trade.
The English use two fingers where Americans use one.
