A Post of NO Significance.

...of absolutely no significance at all.

Today I learnt the names of the following in Hindi/Sanskrit :

1. Thumb - Angushtha - अन्गुष्ठः
2. Index Finger - Tarjini - तर्जिनी
3. Middle Finger - Madhyamika - मध्यमिका
4. Ring Finger - Anamika - अनामिका
5. "The Pinky" - Kanishthika - कनिष्ठिका

.........................................................................

So now, thanks to this thoroughly pointless morsel of information, we can all be exceedingly creative with our insults, pinky-promises and most importantly, primitive hand-gestures for declaring a need to pee.

Also :
"The ring finger is the only British finger on your hand, which means it always follows its biggest ally, the most powerful finger, the one finger, the little finger. The ring you often see encircling the ring finger is a fancy leash made by the little finger to drag it around. After years and years of dragging, the ring finger has already lost its own sense, sadly."
