It depends on which direction the palm is facing.  Facing towards the 
person you are gesturing to it is "V" for victory.  If the back of your 
hand is facing the person it means "f-you" derived from the archer thing 
mentioned before.

This throws it for a loop:

My mother was taught (during WWII, when she was a toddler) the 
thumb-and-index-finger in a "V" as the victory sign.  I've never heard 
of this one, except from her.
