In Latin, the middle finger was the digitus impudicus, meaning the shameless, indecent or offensive finger. In the 1st century AD, Persius had superstitious female relatives concoct a charm with the infamous finger (digitus infamis) and purifying spit; while in the Satyricon, an old woman uses dust, spit and her middle finger to mark the forehead before casting a spell.
Confidence votes 8. Hispanics (like me) eat most of the foods that dumb Americans eat, like cheeseburger's, meat, vegetables, and stuff like that. We have one exception though.... when we're not eating out, we like to cook our culture's food.
(Note: a separate listing for Hispanics is not included because the U.S. Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Hispanic American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) and of Spanish descent living in the U.S. who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15â16% of the total U.S. population is Hispanic, not including estimates about alien residents).
