I take it Hobie and you 'mericans are aware that the two fingered palm inward V sign means exactly the same as "flipping the bird" in europe? Or as we say in Glasgow "Get it right roon ye!"

Its OK we're not offended and we know what the girl means. heheheh!

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!!!
