A known British variation of the gesture is the "two fingers", which is distinguished from the VSign by the palm facing ''away'' from the target (much as it does for the single finger). Notably seen being done by Spike in the BuffyTheVampireSlayer credits.
An oft-quoted, but untrue story about the origin of the gesture involves the French vs English in the 1415 Battle of Agincourt, where the French allegedly boasted to cut off the fingers of every English longbowman they captured. When the English soundly beat them, they held up their still-intact fingers at the French in defiance.

'Flipping the Bird' or 'the Finger' as it's otherwise known is the act of raising one's middle finger upwards while keeping the rest of the fingers curled tight into the palm of the hand. For added expression the participant should extend the arm to its full length and raise slightly above the shoulder line, perform this movement in a one sharp movement to add complete indignation to the questor.
Another popular style is the add of casually "flipping one off" with the minimum amount of effort, to perform this style curl the middle finger instead of holding it erect, allow other fingers to be limp (but maintain definition between them and the middle finger). Barely raise the arm up as if you were tired and hold for slightly longer than normal for full effect. This oddly enough does take more effort to perform.

The most extreme variation is probably the "Double Deuce." It's the same as the standard, except it's performed with both hands, and in the most bombastic, over-the-top manner possible.
