Watch this commercial for "Paipo", the plastic pipe to aide you in stop smoking.
Fist guy says "I was able to quit smoking because of this." The second guy follows with the same line. The third guy shows his pinky and says "I had to quit my company because of a woman."

In contrast, the thumb can mean "boyfriend", but both of these gestures are more used by older men than they are by the younger generation.
The OK sign with the palm facing the chest instead of facing out can mean "money", but if held too close to the crotch the meaning changes to "condom".
If you hold your hand with your fingers together pointed upward next to your ear and then spread your fingers as you raise your hand up slightly (like if you wanted to imitate fireworks with your fingers) it means "PA" which means "empty-headed". Like whoever you are talking about's brains disappeared in a flash.
Making an X with your index fingers tells a waiter or waitress you are ready for your bill.
