I thought it was sign language for the letter V or the signal for victory. But maybe she was trying to say she wanted 2 beers.

Context is everything. Churchill used both versions as ww2 went on.

In Greece, for example, don't try and stop a car with your palm out and fingers spread. They might just drive over you. Keep the fingers closed!!!
