AFAIK the gesture is popular in Russia/Other former Soviet States, with the more or less same meaning.--Baruch ben Alexander - ☠☢☣ 06:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• In Russia, it is sometimes referred to as "bolt po lokot'"/"болт по локоть", that is, a forearm-long penis. Zwyciezca (talk) 06:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is interesting how the image in question has been on the site since 2008 and only NOW is being nominated for speedy deletion.Wzrd1 (talk) 02:26, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can maybe sort of see why fair use would not qualify the image for use in this particular article, but it is justified in the Kozakiewicz article so that's probably why.VolunteerMarek 02:51, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In Poland: "gest Kozakiewicza" is after 1980. It is Euphemism. Before 1980, like in other countries.

Is "bras d'honneur" really the best name for it? The strange thing about this gesture from my perspective is that while attending middle school during my first days in the United States, a very American boy showed me this gesture, supposedly to teach how Americans communicated, and I naturally assumed it was a common part of American culture. Evidently, that's not the case since it doesn't even have a proper name in English. Wfgiuliano (talk) 09:28, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your skepticism. I'm an American and I've never heard the term "bras d'honneur" (let alone know it would be pronounced with an English-language accent). I've always heard it called (maybe facetiously) the "Italian salute." I'm going to add that name to the lede, since I've found sources that support that term, though I have no idea if it is definitively the more popular term. Does anyone have any idea of how we can go about figuring this out? Wolfdog (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't have name, just like how no-one has ever heard of the fancy name this page says the middle finger is called...

Also, shouldn't we edit the page, it says this gesture is only used in parts of the world (mainly Europe) but it's pretty much used everywhere in the Western World. That's why you see it in movies from around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:B930:BC01:E085:5052:8DD0:8A4C (talk) 14:46, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is absurd. Wikipedia should clearly not become a list of every time someone has made an obscene gesture in media. This is much stupider than, say, having an article about every pokemon, to reference "settled law". User:Benjaminikuta, what is your logic here behind reverting my edit? Do you truly believe that this adds something to the encyclopedic mission of the project? 2600:1700:EFA0:2980:C966:7834:AC6D:C9C6 (talk) 23:45, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
