    I think the use of the middle finger was common with bolt action battle rifles. the mad minute with the Enfield.

    The term refers to a photographic effect rather than the actual length of the finger.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
