Gladiolus– the flower of the gladiators symbolizes integrity in victory, free from loopholes and cheating. The original poster for the 2003 film What a Girl Wants showed star Amanda Bynes giving a V sign as an American girl visiting London. In the US, the poster was altered to instead show Bynes with both arms down, to avoid giving the perception that the film was criticizing the then-recently commenced Iraq War.

May 2011: Maxim Gun (!) is right on to this. ‘First let me say that your non British readers might not understand the gesture in its totality. It is not, as you say, just two fingers, there is also the forceful upward motion. Second, Desmond Morris did some work on this. Essentially he did not come to a conclusion but he suggested, inter alia , that it might be two fingers for poking at eyes!’ MG is spot on, of course, with the upward motion. Could it have been a variation on the single middle finger that also involves a speedy upward motion? You give me one finger so I give you two? Thanks Maxim!! Steve McQueen gives the sign in the closing scene of the 1971 motorsport film, Le Mans. A still picture of the gesture was recorded by photographer Nigel Snowdon and has become an icon of both McQueen and the film itself. [21] [22]

As already mentioned, I think this one is best suited to a night. So endless in fact that the Germans felt they had to respond. They banned the V sign calling them acts of sabotage and even threatened to fine those responsible. They also tried to appropriate the symbol for themselves, claiming it to stand for Viktoria, an old German victory cry. But all of this just sent the use of the symbol underground. Some people would break matches into a V and leave them on the road or people might arrange their knives and forks into a V after dining out. Red is the color of victory. The reason for this is that statistically, the red team wins most often, so wearing red increases your chances of victory. This is also seen when people wear red to attract someone, aiming to “win” that other person over.
