What do you call this in your country?

The history of the "up yours" gesture is very very interesting if you care to read on.. It has long been told that the famous "two-fingers salute" and/or "V sign" derives from the gestures of English archers, fighting at Agincourt. The myth claims that the French cut off two fingers on the right hand of captured archers and that the gesture was a sign of defiance by those who were not mutilated. Knights of the time were extremely difficult to challenge in open engagement due to the amount of armor they wore, and the enormity of the horses they rode. One problem the knights faced however, was the English longbow. From a garrison or fortification, longbowmen would string their arrows in quick recession and aim for the armors weak spots. This resulted in many casualties for the knights. If the knights did however capture the fortification, they would either kill the longbowmen, or chop off their middle finger (necessary for stringing arrows effectively). As for the bowmen that escaped, upon seeing a knight, they would hold up their middle finger in mockery of the knight as if to say "ha, ha, you didn't get me"

Yes..."Up yours", flippin the Bird, flipping someone off, and f@#k you~

I am in England, I call the middle finger salutation the birdie sometimes accompanies by the adoarable phrase "spin/swivel on it" and the two fingered one up yours. I tend not to use them because it is common.

they usally say flipping off

Flippin' the bird, flippin' off, up yours... ah, the one finger salute, gotta love it.

i've heard it called "flipping the bird"
