RE: Flipping people off in britain?
Uhh, I have a friend who is from england and says that holding 2 fingers knuckles out is an insult. Apparently, in world war II or I the enemy used to cut off the soldiers fore fingers so that they couldn't ire their gun. Soldiers used to taunt the enemy by showing their 2 fingers. So, yes.
