There's something retro about the act of "flipping the bird." I feel like its heyday was in the '70s and '80s.

This guy flipped off a state trooper in Vermont in 2018, and got arrested in retaliation. The charge was dismissed and the state just settled his lawsuit for $175k. Freedom of speech wins! Good for this guy and the ACLU for holding them to account. 🖕

@SPF Agreed. "Flipping the bird" is the old-person version of "GFY"
