Oh pretty please, if we revive this protocol, can we please pick a better name? Like, any name? Literally anything else, that doesn’t evoke weirdly sexual imagery?
Well I thought about it and if it's a body part there will be someone into that. Then I thought maybe poke, nope some are into that too. I guess maybe "status" port? Kindof like having an away message. It could be a fixed buffer as to not overlflow. Of course that could be accomplished in DNS using TXT.
Honestly I am too lazy to make an RFC. Maybe if enough people make a finger.domain.tld text record it would catch on. [1]
or replace the finger binary with a shell function: [2]

Your point is valid, but how do you feel telling your wife today I fingered Alice, and guess what she was up to?

Wait until you hear about USB condoms.
In my electronics class in high school we learned to strip and do joints.
We also learned the resister color codes via mnemonics.
"Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly, Get Some Now" Curious if they still teach that one. [1] Wikipedia says it is outdated / offensive but it was back then too.

Like fist?! Oh wait…
Glove would work
A glove is for the whole hand though. How about thimble?
Like the protection metaphor there, glove would be great for TLS finger!
Fingercot.
