Two fingers up

Today I heard someone (a British someone) refer to giving the "proverbial two fingers up," which sounded to my American ears like a slightly more polite middle finger.

A little research reveals that (1) it's a "V" sign but with the palm of your hand facing you; and (2) it is exactly as polite as a middle finger.
