Bachmann gives us “The Tongs”:

“The insulting version of the gesture (with the palm inwards) is often compared to the offensive gesture known as “the finger”. The “two-fingered salute”, also known as “The Longbowman Salute”, “the two” and as “The Tongs” in the West of Scotland and “the forks” in Australia, is commonly performed by flicking the V upwards from wrist or elbow. The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England, and later in the rest of the United Kingdom; though the use of the inward peace sign as an insulting gesture is largely restricted to the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt, or derision.”
