Yes, we use this gesture in southern slavic countries, although we don't call it fig, we call it šipak (pronoun. shipak), or rose hip in english, and it's a milder version of middle finger, because it resembles of female genitalia.

In Brazilië is very popular people sell it as a souvenir. And they consider it as an amulet for good fortune. I have one at home.

Anna J, I used to work with mentally challenged people, many of whom had poor verbal skills. Shaking the T sign at staff was the way many of them communicated that they were off to the washroom.
