"Dagnabbit!"
How do you show you're really pissed off, but don't want to
Flip the Bird? Raise a clenched fist to the sky and shake it, as if you're contemplating punching/strangling God! Even better if you have a
Gloved Fist of Doom, or a ton of fellow angry citizens raising their fists with you to show their solidarity and defiance towards The Man. Will often result in
Milking the Giant Cow if not done right.
Compare
Bicep Polishing Gesture,
Fist of Rage,
Fist Of Enthusiasm.
