I love where the two fingers insult came from. Should basically only ever be used to insult the french.

Wasn't it the French who cut off the fingers of English bowmen in the 100 year war?
Should only really be used by the French against English then, no? Or did I get the historical context all wrong? </BLOCKQUOTE>
I think the English still used it as if to say "you didnt get me, ive still got my 2 fingers"
might be very wrong though </BLOCKQUOTE>
yeah it was the english that did it to the french for the reason you gave.
