Vulgar Patches not everyone can pull off putting some of these crude, rude, and downright nasty patches on their jacket. If you're a biker, of course, you probably come closer to getting away with these mean things than other people do. The biker image is one of being strong, tough, and yes, even a little bit rude. The Fuck U Finger Patch is definitely rude, but sometimes, it's just what you want to say.
This small middle finger patch only measures two inches wide by three inches high, so it will fit just about anywhere. The fist and extended middle finger stand out pretty easily, but the 'Fuck U' line underneath it, done in bright red, really jumps out.
Have you ever wondered why extending the middle finger means 'fuck you'? How did this become an obscene gesture? The action goes all the way back to ancient Greek, where extending the middle finger was an insult. The term used to describe this action could also be translated as 'a male who submits to anal penetration'. Later, in Ancient Rome, it was called the impudent finger. It's also possible the gesture has its origin in the Mediterranean area during the first century. There, extending the middle finger was one way of protecting one from the evil eye.
No matter where it came from, pretty much everyone knows what flipping the bird or flipping someone off means now. It's the go-to gesture for someone who pisses you off. If you give someone the finger often, you might want to put this patch on your jacket or hat and give your middle finger a rest.
