i just wanted to know what does it mean. is it like a greeting or does it have any deeper meaning? or is it just like saying: "hello I am here and I am cool" :P you know, girls from where i come don't do that :P |
It's a peace sign. I believe the practice of making the gesture in pictures was started by a Japanese female Olympic figure skater who did it to promote the message of peace (the v sign is close to the shape of a dove's clawprint).
