V SIGN

[noun]

a hand gesture in which the index and middle fingers are raised and parted, while the other fingers are clenched. It has various meanings, depending on the cultural context and how it is presented. It is most commonly used to represent the letter V as in “victory”, as a symbol of peace (usually with palm outward), as an offensive gesture (palm inward), and to represent the number two. It was adopted by the 1960s counterculture movement as a sign for peace.
