My new favorite German word

Today I was flipping (so to speak) through one of the local papers when I came across an article featuring a grainy picture of a carful of guys flipping off a police camera:

The best thing about it wasn't the picture, but this accompanying statement: "Dabei zeigten sie der Kamera den Stinkefinger." What a great word! It almost makes me want to run out and give someone the Stinkefinger (except I think that would be a very un-Swiss thing to do)...
