Actualy the gesture in 1:41 in Greece has to be done with spread fingers and towards the face of the other.Many do it with both hands,one behind the other.Its called :faskelo: or "moutza".

When I was younger, I made the 'clitoris' hand gesture with both of my hands and showed it to my mother. She was appalled and said it was considered a swear where she came from (Brunei). And now, years later, I know what it actually means. Thanks!

Yeah. It's the equivalent to F*** you! in Russia. I mean I thought that was the only meaning it had.

Yes, and that's why Winston Churchill used the 'v' sign in the 'up yours' model to symbolise to Hitler that he hadn't broken the British nation
