The Fingers are rocky peninsulae near the Vale of Arryn, and Petyr's father was the lord of the smallest of them. And he is relatively short of stature, both as an adult and as a child when he was given the nickname.
He doesn't like this nickname as it points out he's just a minor lord and pretty much mocks him for being short sized.
