The fig is a gesture that is indicated by a fist. The thumb is seen poking out of the index and middle fingers.
This gesture is known as mano fico or fig hand in Roman.
This is one of the good hand gestures, as it indicates good luck and fertility and a way to ward off the evil eye.
However, the fig is considered a gesture that mimics the female vulva in Italian. Thus, this is a very offensive gesture to the Italians and Turks. If this gesture is carried out by a person of Asian origin, it roughly translates as screw you.
