Here it's used to refer to the middle finger, contrary to what our entry claims:

  • 1960, Freda Agnes Nahas, The Imposition of Gesture as an Aid in Creating a Role in Drama
    [] the next, or middle finger, is the physical finger — a hand using the middle finger to point out something would express a sort of peasant earthiness and clumsiness []
