At school, on the street, riding your bike–as an identity badge, it was a little like having long hair that you could easily hide. We used to have a picture from the Orange County Register of a long haired man flashing the peace sign, with the caption “hippie making the secret hand sign that means ‘I have marijuana.’”

I have found myself, after learning from “Darkest Hour” the palm side in is the same as the one finger salute, using it quite frequently!
