@mastertdi Okay, I need to settle a conversation with someone I know. Apparantly this two finger gesture is vulgar in England? Could you shed any light on the validity of that? http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/814252

@northernnarwhal put your mouth between your fingers hommie.
-
@northernnarwhal Yeah, it's basically our equivalent of flipping the bird. Although we do have both, and the two fingers are less common nowadays.
-
@mastertdi Oh, neat. I didn't know that.

@northernnarwhal Stop swearing at me

@mastertdi hue

@l1ghtsword Put your mouth between my fingers

@northernnarwhal In 1942, Aleister Crowley, a British occultist, claimed to have invented the usage of a V-sign in February 1941 as a magical foil to the Nazis' use of the Swastika. He maintained that he passed this to friends at the BBC, and to the British Naval Intelligence Division through his connections in MI5, eventually gaining the approval of Winston Churchill.

@mastertdi Get flipped on

-
@ceruleanspark So it was really a massive prank of sorts?
-
@northernnarwhal No, Crowley is just a wackjob. Nobody knows where it came from. Wikipedia has a pretty decent article that debunks a lot of the stupider explanations
