or is chatgpt info outdated
Means āf*ck offā over here yeah
I always give the backhanded peace signā¦never occurred to me that it was improper.
usually you curl you fingers a little and thrust upwards to make the point
in america i see it all the time from rock and hippies and surfers all the way to rap and street culture and never thinking anything of it, but learned in UK its not quite same meaning
Itās the British equivalent to the middle finger?
In the UK - Its Offensive. But in the 1940ās Churchill used it all the time in WW2. I think the gesture has just got perverted somehow now.
Yes it is

We have the middle finger too. Like @Naarai says, the v sign was a good thing in WW2
I actually only realised it wasnāt used in most other countries
In Canada everyone says āHave a Good Oneā.
To me it sounds like I am being encouraged to have a good bowel movementā¦canāt stand this expression.
There was a rumour the v sign originated in the old French v English wars. The English had far superior archers armed with Welsh longbows.
The rumour was the French cut the bow fingers off captured archers but not sure that is true
āHope you have a big oneā @Patrick
Thatās what I heard. So the archers would put up their two fingers as an f you to the enemy like come and get them.
Yep totally what I heard too
just donāt put your tongue in-between the Vicky or youāre in trouble
(for a woman) you can imagine what that means lol
pretty sure it means the c word
Left 4 Dead 2ās cover, which featured this hand sign, was censored in the UK iirc.
Hmmā¦if I wave at a guy who has no arms, would that be considered to be showing off?
Iām pretty sure that back-handing someone with a peace sign is definitely offensive.
If he has no arms and no legs and heās laying on your doorstep his name is Matt.
If heās hanging on your wall his name is Art.
If heās floating in the ocean his name is Bob.
If heās laying in a pile of leaves his name is Russell.
Letās just say that itād be nice if you stopped waving your gizmo at me and tucked it back in your pants.
