In western cultures, the finger, as in giving someone the finger, is a popularly known obscene hand gesture made by extending the middle finger of the hand while bending the other fingers at the second knuckle. Its meaning can be translated as "**** you". The gesture is also known as "the bird", "flipping the bird", "The Middle Finger Salute", "you're number one", "the one-finger salute", "the highway salute", "flipping (someone) off", "flicking (someone) off", "the one-fingered peace sign", "showing someone the middle finger", "digital signalling", "thumbs up plus 2", "pulling the fingers", and "the good-bye salute".
The origin of this gesture is highly speculative, but is quite possibly up to 2500 years old. It is identified as the digitus impudicus ('impudent finger') in Ancient Roman writings [1] and reference is made to using the finger in the Ancient Greek comedy The Clouds by Aristophanes. It was defined there as a gesture intended to insult another.
It has long been told that the famous "two-fingers salute" and/or "V sign" derives from the gestures of English archers, fighting at Agincourt. The myth claims that the French cut off two fingers on the right hand of captured archers and that the gesture was a sign of defiance by those who were not mutilated.
Jean Froissart (circa 1337-circa 1404) was a historian and the author of Froissart's Chronicles, a document that is essential to an understanding of Europe in the fourteenth century and to the twists and turns taken by the Hundred Years' War. The story of the English waving their fingers at the French is told in the first person account by Jean Froissart. However, the description is not of an incident at the Battle of Agincourt, but rather at the siege of a castle nearby in the Hundred Years' War. Adding to the evidence is that by all accounts Jean Froissart died before the battle actually took place; it was therefore rather difficult for him to have written about it.

To be pissed off is to be very angry. The middle finger is shown as an extreme insult to another person and it literally means to go f*%k yourself. I'm not sure about the logic of it. Perhaps because actions speak louder than words?

Pissed off means to be EXTREMELY angry with a person or usually with a situation that has arisen.It essentially says "**** you" and I believe this is because the middle finger is used more in digital foreplay than any other , being the longest.Essentially , it is telling someone to have sex with themselves.There is NO logic in this.
