So if the two finger salute is more offense how does it differ between the peace sign ?

I could be wrong, but I think the two finger salute(not the Cub Scout saute which is what I thought of when I first read that) is back handed, like in this picture.

And the peace sign is front handed, like Ringo Starr is demonstrating in this picture.

You are correct. The two-fingered salute shows the back of the hand, whilst the peace sign shows the palm.

Personally, I would have used this photo to demonstrate the former

Considering I didn’t know really what the two finger salute was till I googled it, this probably wouldn’t have come to mind since I didn’t realize that’s what he was doing the first time I saw it. This gives this picture a whole new meaning for me.

I was just having a laugh, don’t worry. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t known, either. What I didn’t see before, is that George actually wrote something on that photo. I wonder which words were meant to go on the dots…

I also have seen the two finger salute with the fingers together or is that something else?

It’s like this, it’s the cub scout salute.

It’s definitely a problem when one is holding a guitar pick. I once caught myself about to flip off some of my bandmates at practise…
