Homer Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Archers! Something to do with the legend that the french cut off the two fingers of captured archers so they couldn't use their bows again. The English used the V sign as a salute to the French to show their fingers were still intact. At least that is what the old story is but Snopes may prove that a myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 AFAIK it originated at Agincourt, the english longbow was wrecking havoc and any english archers captured had their 2 fingers cut off so they could no longer draw a bow, the 2 finger salute was basically 'we still have our fingers so you are f*****ked' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
