Depends on which way round your hand is -- V with folded fingers/palm facing out, it's the peace/victory sign. V with back of the hand/knuckles facing out would the insult -- supposedly originating from English archers insulting the French at the battle of Agincourt. According to legend, the French would cut off the index & ring fingers from captured English soldiers so they couldn't draw their bow string. So the English would wave the two fingers in the V formation in the general direction of the French in order to insult them! At least that's the legend anyway ... https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803120300620 https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20...
