Digitally connect with Bill in America and show contempt? (5,4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thumb ones nose

'show contempt?' is the definition.

'digitally connect with bill in america and' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bill' could be 'nose' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'nose' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
