AHA! I KNEW IT! A real English he-man would know that getting the bird
is great...and you stand a lot better chance of getting your hand in

As recently pointed out to me at some length, this is primarily a
North American group, and "getting the bird" is a North American
expression. Your apparently minimal knowledge of British English slang
is about as much use here as your apparently extensive knowledge of
