The archers origin of the rude v-sign seems to be apocryphal.
So far we have the v-sign meaning victory or freedom during WWII, and peace in the 60s. What does it mean now?

@fitheach@mstdn.io I've heard it called the "peace sign" as it became popular. If the original meaning was "V for Victory", I suppose "peace" isn't too far off from the original meaning. The current meaning seems to be a generic greeting, similar to a hand-wave.
