Well, the problem with at least one of those is that it is easy to break the fingers of an opponent who uses them in sparring.

Broken fingers offend you?

Nope, unless my feelings are hurt that the opponent is bad at fighting. I only cried tears of boredom once in a match, and it was vs. a UFC champ at his own gym after I delivered a one hit ko victory when he went for my legs with a double leg takedown attempt, but he sure did not take down my boredom after that.

It varies not just because of cultural differences but between individuals too. For example, some people would be deeply offended by the gesture of putting a finger in their butt, whereas other people would take it as a profound symbol of joy and camaraderie.

Isn't the middle finger a symbol of brothership in Japanese culture?
