Context: And the other two-way word is "prick". It's okay if it happens to your finger; yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick!
“To the wise, a prick on the finger avoids a hole in the heart.”

Man schlägt jemanden mit der Faust und nicht mit gespreizten Fingern.

“You put your hand on Corinne's back like this again and I'm breaking your fingers.”
