"V" for Victory In the United States, it means "victory" or "peace." But in England, if the palm faces inward it is a taunt,especially if executed with an upward jerk of the fingers.
As the story goes, over years ago, the French disabled the English archers they captured in battle by cutting off their middle and forefingers. After the batles of Agincourt and Crecy, where the French were heavily defeated, the triumphant English gloated over their prisoners by holding up their hands, first two fingers upright, palm inward, to show bother fingers fully intact.
Stop Sign Extending one hand, palm forward, means "stop" in the United States while In Greece it is a common sign of confrontation . And in West Africa, the gesture is even more insulting than the upraised middle finger.
