Rude Italian Hand Gestures

Apropos of almost nothing at all I ran across this video when I was searching for the name of a particular gesture. I love the lady's deadpan comedic expressions. I was also greatly amused by this video because it reminded me of my college Italian teacher, who for the most part did not deliberately teach her class the more profane expressions but when annoyed certainly used a few of the gestures shown here. I guess if you ever find yourself in Italy or among certain groups of Italian-Americans some of these things could come in handy for letting people know exactly what's on your mind.
