Flipping someone off counts too, without a word needing to be said \u2014 typically NT$1,000-4,000, though it jumps sharply if the person on the receiving end is a police officer. And context matters since a 2024 constitutional court ruling: shouting an insult once in a heated moment and being deliberately, repeatedly abusive toward one specific person can land very differently in front of a judge, even for the same word.
