    The V-sign, isn’t the clue to make it with the palm facing away from you? The V-for victory sign is definitely a thing in Great Britain. Churchill somewhat famously did the sign incorrectly the first few times he used it.

      IIRC in Straw Dogs, Dustin Hoffman plays an American who has come to rural England. He’s greeted by two locals who give him the peace sign, then when he walks away they turn their hands around and it becomes the two-fingered salute.
