Hanno the navigator brought the first description of gorillas back to Carthage on his voyage to Africa. Not sure if this fits for you or not.

i have a new question for ya:
what is the origin of the fuckfinger? (i´m not talking about the "phallus-symbol" explanation)

fuckfinger
1 thumb down


A derogatory term used to describe someone who is less than satisfactory in their behaivour. Originated from the middle finger of a female, which is normally used to insert into their vagina or anus to pleasure themselves. Normally, has sticky residue and horrific odours as a result of not cleaning it.

You fuckfinger, why the hell did you root my nana!?

not quite...

The "one-finger salute," or at any rate sexual gestures involving the middle finger, are thousands of years old. In Gestures: Their Origins and Distribution, Desmond Morris and colleagues note that the digitus infamis or digitus impudicus (infamous or indecent finger) is mentioned several times in the literature of ancient Rome. Turning to our vast classical library, we quickly turn up three references. Two are from the epigrammatist Martial: "Laugh loudly, Sextillus, when someone calls you a queen and put your middle finger out."

the digitus impudicus is one good answer, but i was looking for a special event in the younger history (younger compared to the romans)...

The french threatened to cut off the first two fingers of the right hand of any English archer they captured. The English, in response, kicked the French arses at Agincourt, and waved the two fingered salute as a symbol of defiance. Thus was born the gesture...
