    We do? Can you describe the gesture? Maybe it’s so ingrained I don’t even recognise it. Or I need to learn it. Then I can use it at everyone today.

      I believe theyre referring to the usual two-finger-fuck-you. As in v for victory.

      If you take that same sign and press it to your lips you get a gesture recognised as “eating pussy” when accompanied by some tongue action through the V of your fingers.

        Ah, I see. We don’t tend to put it to the mouth. It’s more “fuck you”. Apparently comes from demonstrating to the French that you still have your bow-drawing fingers and intend to use them. British archers captured by the french would have their first two fingers removed to prevent them launching arrows.
