We should breed Leckie with Stuart Little. Get a race of talking, airplane-flying crash helmet mice.

Isn't that the British equivalent of the middle finger?

I hope not. If that were the case, Leckie would be the British Kloie. Can't have that. Besides how would Brits order two of anything? hold up one finger of each hand?

They probably just point and say: "I'd like two of those luv, to go."

Star Collective wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
It's all about hand position. Palm towards you with two fingers means well...you know...two fingers with palm facing AWAY from you just means the usual: peace, two, etc, etc... I might be wrong. You should probably ask Leckie.

Yeah, I remember reading about something like that.

Basically it goes back to the battle of the same name where any captured British archers would have those two fingers cut off by the French, those fingers being the ones they used to pull the bow (hasn't changed btw. I still shoot my longbow like that.) So the archers who still had their two fingers would not try and hide it from the French

hence:

Edit: Basically somewhere along the line that became a rude gesture.

Lady Leckie thought this was the Ricky Martin Fan Club Forum and wrote:
It is the "Agincourt salute." Don't take it as gospel, but being an archer i've learned this, although its probably patchy.

This is an urban legend on the origins of "giving someone the bird" and tying it to the phrase "Fuck you".

We don't waste our time with giving people the bird. We just wait fore someone to give us the bird, then shoot their finger off for target practice.

Or our version of giving you the bird, which consists of a turkey carcass in your bed.. while you are sleeping.. and bloody.. till you wake up, and "Get the message"

Sorry to drag this up from four days ago or whatever.

*goes looking for Kloie*

Actually, I'll e-mail it after work

Cthulhu probably says this to all the girls:

I certainly am not a Dwarf. I'm 6' 3.25" tall. me no dwarf

And I had also heard that it was because during British/French wars they used to cut off (just the middle finger I'd heard) and it was used as a taunt to the enemy when they showed they still had both firing fingers. *shrug*
