I was trying to clean some old files off my computer when I came across these old photos. I remember showing some pictures to the pastor, one of these was among them, and he gasped. I ask him “What? What does it mean?” He said, “It’s terrible!” I asked, “Is it worst than the finger?” He said “Yes!” and never told me anymore.

Well, coming across the photo again and remembering the pastor’s reaction made me curious, so I did a google search! Evidently it’s a gesture originating from England and onto the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Sometimes foreigners visiting the countries mentioned above use the "two-fingered salute" without knowing it is offensive to the natives, for example when ordering two beers in a noisy pub."
