Let us review ‘fingers’, definition of.
Feb 21st, 2024 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Cambridge English dictionary:
‘any of the long, thin, separate parts of the hand’.
Oxford English dictionary:
‘One of five terminal members of hand’.
merriam-webster English dictionary:
‘any of the five terminating members of the hand’.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand:
‘The human hand usually has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb, these are often referred to collectively as five fingers’.
So, not only ‘common parlance’, but complete agreement between sources on that point.
Q.E.D. I rest my case.
And of course, as always, no evidence to the contrary presented, just the random blithering’s of ‘a pedantic fool’ and ‘supercilious twit’.

“these are often referred to collectively as five fingers’”.
Feb 21st, 2024 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse -4So you claim, but where is it's use in ordinary publications? i.e newspaper's, journals, or published novels.
I can´t find any such instance, and I'll bet you can't either. So your 'often referred to collectively´, appears to be decidedly lacking.
Not that it helps your claim, as you are bound by your original statement, and your very own deliberate 'fraud by omission”
I see only one use as a movie title, but that's it, very, very rarely. It's not part of common parlance.

Definition
There are five fingers (digits) attached to the hand. The four fingers can be folded over the palm which allows the grasping of objects. Each finger, starting with the one closest to the thumb, has a colloquial name to distinguish it from the others:
index finger, pointer finger, or forefinger
middle finger or long finger,
ring finger
little finger, pinky finger, or small finger.
The thumb (connected to the trapezium) is located on one of the sides, parallel to the arm. A reliable way of identifying and hands is from the presence of opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs are identified by the ability to be brought opposite to the fingers, a muscle action known as opposition.

Your 'fraud by omission', as the citation you are relying on specifically.

Universal, complete agreement on that point:

As you claim it's 'common parlance’ perhaps you can provide its interpretation?.
Actually it’s Creole, or the Jamaicans call it Patois, locally rendered ‘Patwah’, certainly not a Pidgeon English.
