EDIT: Oh wait, is giving someone the forks not a thing in the US?
Nope, it's not.
Hmm, you learn something every day. Urban myth has it that it comes from mocking people by showing that you still have the fingers necessary to draw your bow.
also isn't the "V" sign also used for victory or whatever? like nixon or the japanese do it?
That's palm out, palm in is the offensive version.
The story of it's origin is interesting, although probably not true.
According to a popular legend the two-fingers salute and/or V sign derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War. The story claims that the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all the English longbowmen after they had won the battle at Agincourt. But the English came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact. Historian Juliet Barker quotes Jean Le Fevre (who fought on the English side at Agincourt) as saying that Henry V included a reference to the French cutting off longbowmen's fingers in his pre-battle speech. If this is correct it confirms that the story was around at the time of Agincourt, although it doesn't necessarily mean that the French practised it, just that Henry found it useful for propaganda, and it does not show that the 'two-fingers salute' is derived from the hypothetical behaviour of English archers at that battle. Indeed, there is no record of this explanation for the V sign before the 1970s, and it seems to be a popular myth.
oh also last year on my birthday my friends bought me children's transformers pajamas as a joke (i mean like...children childrens pajamas) and after I got really drunk I put them on and danced around and it was very embarassing
Awesome. Jewish girl at work quit today and didn't tell me. Fuck sticks.
Now I have to really get out of this place.
Isn't that the one you were trying to hook up with but didn't because of office drama?
Not so much office drama, but she was scared of the potential for office drama. However, in the past few months, we've still been friends and she was one of the few things keeping me here. Now she's gone and I have no pretty girl to be seen with.
So it's time to go.
