Extractado de Foreign Fingers:
PALM-BACK V SIGN
Gesture: The peace sign, but reversed so the palm faces the recipient
Location: Jolly 'Ole England
If an American was visiting England and saw someone give them the palm-back V sign, they'd probably mutter, "Damn hippies". Yet the Englishman wasn't offering a symbol of peace, but instead telling you, "up your bum!".
In the British Isles, the palm-back V sign has the same meaning as the finger, but with a cockney accent. It's use can be traced back to the 16th century, but it's hard to pin down. Whether it was first used as a variant of the cuckold's devil's horns, or as a variant of the more ancient middle finger, but with some extra fingers thrown in to make it that much more painful is unknown.

Me equivoco?
El FMI te presta a la mitad de lo que cobra el cotorro.
