subbtle

Obvious, heavy-handed. The opposite of subtle. (The 'bb' is pronounced.)

The movie's syrupy score was so subbtle, you had no choice of how to watch it. It was a weepy melodrama. Period.

dog whistle comment

A surreptitious inclusion of code words or phrases that will be heard by some of those listening, while not disturbing the other listeners, who may not appreciate the hidden message(s).

President George W. Bush is constantly littering his speeches with dog whistle comments meant for the religious right, so that he can tell them what they wants to hear, while not offending those who aren't evangelical or born again. (paraphrase of text by Ian Welsh, on his Agonist blog)

courtesy finger

A gesture that occurs after a driver, indicator flashing, is not given proper room to change lanes, and must forcibly wedge his car into the desired lane.

He didn't let me in, so, after I cut him off to get over, I gave the fucker my courtesy finger.
