Throwing up the “peace sign” (United Kingdom and other Commmonwealth Nations)
This one has managed to instigate its fair share of trouble. What most people in the United States would consider being the peace sign is, in fact, the equivalent of giving someone the finger in the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa. Just remember that this only applies should your palm be facing you. If your palm is facing outwards, then you’re in the clear.
