Rear View Mirror :-)
Rear View Mirror :-)
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory
over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured
English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to
draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable
of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the
native English yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as
'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew').
Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset
and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the
defeated French, saying, 'See, we can still pluck yew!' Since 'pluck
yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the
beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus
the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute. It is
also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with to Wave To
the Hell File.'
