victory sign
Two fingers raised
A victory sign is a hand gesture made by raising the index and middle fingers in a V shape, palm facing outward.
It signals triumph, success, or solidarity—Winston Churchill famously used it during World War II.
With the palm facing inward, the same gesture is an obscene insult in Britain and some Commonwealth countries.
The victory sign also serves as a peace symbol, especially associated with 1960s counterculture: She flashed a victory sign at the camera.
