how about

one of each on both hands?

I generally go for the middle finger.

I think

of the middle finger as a vulgar Americanisation that's dooming the charming V sign to extinction. Kind of like grey squirrels.

yeah but the middle finger

seem to have more force to it.

it's like saying "fuck off" and two fingers is less foreceful, like "piss off". no? just me?

I might be wrong about this

but I was always under the impression that the middle finger is a crude representation of a cock, so rather than "fuck off" it's more like "your presence is aggreiving me, so stick this up your arse." Which definitely carries more force than the V sign which, as everyone knows, means: "See these? These are my DEATH FINGERS and you cannot have them."

So yes, you're right, but I still prefer the V sign.

oh well I didn't mean

those particular things mean fuck off/piss off, I just meant ie. the middle finger delivers more force than the V sign, LIKE fuck off vs. piss off.

and, well, the V sign is alright, I just like to use the middle finger cos it's nastier :p

V sign is more genteel

and more amusing
middle finger I suppose means more

Vs all the way

ideally with an alternating two-hand flick motion like Rik from the Young Ones.

Middle finger

V just makes you look like Liam Gallagher.

neither preferably

but really the V, it's funnier, the middle seems too serious and it's more childish which isn't a good combination.

So yeah.

The V is way cooler

It reminds me of a poster I had on my student wall back in 1996, Jarvis flicking the V :-)
