If you don't already know, this hand gesture, the V or backwards peace symbol, is the same as flipping someone the bird in the UK. Legend (or myth) has it that it comes from when French soldiers would cut off the middle and forefingers of British archers so that they could no longer draw their bows. The British would then show their defiance by flipping the V sign to the French to show that they were still capable of firing their bows.
