HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE FINGER!!!

Today some girls asked me to stop using the F word (i tink it's mich and marie), saying some blah blah blah abt it. Well, i have my reason for using it.

Isn't history more interesting when you know something abt it??

Giving the finger before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French who were anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future.

This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "pluck yew"

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset (IT'S LIKE MANCHESTER UNITED LOST TO MANCHESTER CITY LIKE THAT)and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French saying, "SEE, WE STILL CAN PLUCK YEW!!!"

"PLUCK YEW!!!"

Since "PLUCK YEW" is rather difficult to say, over the years it gradually evolved into the word "FUCK YOU", and the words often used in conjunction with the middle finger salute

SO REMEMBER TO USE IT TO SALUTE ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW!!!
