Never seen anyone use it outside the US, really. (Not that that is huge experience, but I’m pretty self-learned so there is that).

In our culture the palm out is supposed to be “peace”, the palm in is supposed to be “victory”. Which latter I prefer, knowing what these morons’ view of “peace” is.

You never saw pictures of Churchill using it?

I don’t know what it may have meant to this woman, but she didn’t need to have been educated - all she needed was to see it used within her own culture in certain contexts, for it to have a meaning. It obviously meant something to her, and not necessarily the ‘stupid hippie peace sign’.

"...palm out is supposed to be “peace”, the palm in is supposed to be “victory”..."
-

Is Churchill flashing "Peace" or "Victory"?

To the British, two raised fingers with the palm toward the body is their way of flipping the bird.
