What about Asian cultures?   kinda interesting actually

In some west asian cultures the index finger takes the place of the middle finger we Americans use.

The Japanese apparently use the middle finger, but that may be due to the influence of American G.I.s post WWII.

The British use the index and middle fingers.

The index & pinky finger sign is a different fetish - one of them being that a husband has an unfaithful wife especially in Italy, Spain and the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America.


The horns of the cuckold! Many references in literature, including Shakespeare.
