Curious how people fluff this ability since a bit vague, and essentially sounds like a feint/intimidate more than anything. I'm not sure one visually trips up a zombie into being flat-footed towards you?

Well, more fluff with the Zombie then anything, but the Feat mentions you can use a ‘Rude gesture’ to activate it. So, Rogue flips off the zombie, like he does with any foe to get them angry, so said anger opens up holes in the creatures defence which he can take advantage of.
However, the mindless zombie does not get angry, instead it fixates on the offending tasty finger it’s currently being presented with, seeing it as it’s next delicious treat. The zombie focus it’s attention on the finger, like a carrot, and not on the rogue’s “stick”, creating an opening for the rogue to take advantage to whack the zombie with it.

I suddenly had the urge to make it a rock-paper-scissor challenge and they are so into it they get socked extra hard in the face.

I also go with the flip-off approach for visual (let's be honest, the description hands it to you), and I figure there's a "yo momma" joke involved in auditory. XD

I had a thought another thought with the Zombie. What if the Rogue points to the Zombie and starts dancing to 'Thriller'. Mindless or not, that Zombie should instinctively know the fresh flesh is= 1) co-opting there cultural rights and traditions 2) making light of there heritage, and the strives and contributions they have made both for zombie-kind and the world as a whole 3) and on a personal note, they know they are getting 'Served' and they must response in kind.

Based on the description it seems like it should really have the Mental trait. In most places their good about this kind of stuff.
