So what do they use for the peace sign?

 

[Azih]

palm facing out is peace, palm facing in is FU.


Though I've heard the V sign means victory in europe, not peace.


Also interesting to note, the thumbs up sign is a slightly rude childish gesture in South Asia and the O.K sign means zero/worthless in France.

Same deal, according to some. Palm facing out is victory, palm facing in is FU, just with the two extending fingers.

I remember Bush giving the two-finger salute my accident when he was in Australia.

So to conclude:

Palm facing out - Peace
Palm facing in - FU
Palm facing in during WWII - V for Victory (as used by Churchill)
Middlefinger - swivel

That explains why I got beaten in a pub after asking for two beers the other summer while in the UK.

I didn't know about this two fingered salute business in America.. I doubt far fewer people in Japan had any idea.
