bunny ears

V-sign behind head

Bunny ears are the long upright ears of a rabbit, or things resembling them.

The phrase most often refers to the V-shaped gesture made by holding two fingers behind someone's head in a photograph—a prank suggesting the victim has rabbit ears.

Bunny ears also names the old-fashioned V-shaped television antenna that sat atop the set: We had to adjust the bunny ears to get a clear picture.
