Flying Fickle Finger of Fate

Pronunciation: \ˈflī\\iŋ \ˈfi-kəl\ \ˈfiŋ-gər\ \ˈäv\ \ˈfāt\

This perhaps is the first version of "flipping the bird" on prime time TV.(Rowan & Martin's "Laugh In". Was an American sketch comedy television program which ran for 140 episodes from January 22, 1968 to May 14, 1973.)

If they thought some deserved getting "the finger" They would be given "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award", saluting actual dubious achievements by the government or famous people. A breakthrough in TV broadcasting.

Holding ones arm outstretched with thumb and fingers retracted except the middle one and the middle finger extended as far as possible, You are now Flying the Fickle finger of fate. When you aim it at someone in particular, you are giving them a "Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award"

Fly the finger

The Supersucker's drive by blues
To flip the bird
Give 'em da finger

It's time to fly the finger
Yeah, that middle digit brings your point

And drives it home
