The gesture has its origins in the Battle of Agincourt, when the French soldiers bragged that not only would they defeat the English soldiers (most of whom were armed with longbows), but they’d cut off the archers’ shooting fingers (the index & middle fingers) as trophies. Though the English were outnumbered, they managed to soundly defeat the French, and taunted them by raising their index & middle fingers at them, just to rub it in. “Look! We still have our fingers!”

ya know, i’m sure there is a market for differences in rim-shots and rude gestures. maybe there’s a market for shirts and such that can be made. grrrrl, i believe you should start making funny logos to print. screen printed shirts are all the rage! hee hee
