Fun fact: the "2 fingers up" sign's origin story is hilarious and kind of based.

Back when Brits and Frogs were at war, English archers using the longbow decimated French infantry/cavalry. They were the equivalent of our A10 Warthog back then. They used those 2 fingers to notch arrow, pull, and let loose flying death on Frenchies.

In a rage, France decided to start chopping off those 2 "arrow notching" fingers of any English POW to effectively neuter any future bowmanship.

In retaliation, Brits held up the "peace sign" aka the "bowman fingers" as a taunt to the French. Aka, "you hate these fingers, come and get them, bitches!"

Allrighty, on to my next pint!
