What's French for back off?

Though no stranger to the fashion show scene and the attention he attracts every time, this Grammy-winning rapper apparently wasn't in the mood to engage the paparazzi at Givenchy's show during Paris Fashion Week.

So up went the hand, and it wasn't to have a toast. Who opted for a flip of the bird instead of a genial bon jour?

Well, maybe the paps should be glad this was all Kanye West had to offer.

A fixture at the fall and spring shows, West had his movements tracked by the New York Times during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week last month, so it surely came as no surprise that ze French photogs wanted a piece of him, too.

But he didn't really look mad. Perhaps he was just assuming a tough-guy stance for the cameras to go along with the snarling rottweiler printed on his Givenchy sweater.

And to make up for the fact that he and Liv Tyler were wearing the same thing.
