قاسم عيسى,
I think that this topic is going to be one of the best topics in art-en. "Decoding", how I love this word!! Our world is full of Codes and messages; and I think that people themselves are codes.

Ok Let me add new legendary symbol.
As a way of fun, we used when we take photos with friends, to put sometime our (victory sign) on the back of some one, to indicate that he is donkey or stupid, a thing to make friends laugh when they see the photo.
Do you know what this V refers to?
In old times, in some tripes and groups in spain and germany, they used to refer to strong sexual man, because this V for these groups symbols of potent man, which is the symbol of the beast whose healthy and powerful.
So this donkey V, is a symbol of potent man, be careful next time. Hahahahah

Where did the V-sign come from? We may never know, although one persistent theory says it has something to do with English longbowmen. What is clearer is that the gesture has two quite different sets of meanings, depending on whether you make it with your palm turned inward or facing outward. With the growth of global communications, we are also discovering the rude and defiant hand gestures of other cultures. As the symbol of peace, it has become universal, while the V for Victory will forever remain associated with it.
BiographyWhat do you think of when someone mentions the V-sign – a rude gesture of anger or something altogether more benign? Here we look at the origin of both versions, and dispel the myth that the signal's roots lie with archers in the Battle of Agincourt
The Rude Version In Britain, the V-sign - when done with the palm backwards - is a rude insult, meaning "Get Stuffed!". Although it is now losing ground to the American single finger, it is still seen from time to time. Recent two-finger saluters include deputy PM John Prescott, Liam Gallagher of Oasis and England striker, Wayne Rooney.
V for Victory The V-sign also stands for "Victory", and unlike the British "Get Stuffed!" sign, this meaning is understood and used around the world. Popularised by Winston Churchill during world war two, the idea came from a Belgian lawyer called Victor De Lavelaye.
The Archers' V-sign: an urban legend The rude V-sign is widely seen as a gesture of English defiance, supposedly originating in the archers who fought in the 100 Years War against France. Our nominator, Catherine Cooper, wrote, "It was a means of telling your opponent that you were still capable of drawing a bow string back, as you still had two fingers!"
The V Sing for Woman, is the chalice, do you remember when robert langdon decode the blade and the chalice for Sofie, he said that the blade -which is the upside down V- is the symbol of man, and a very strong man, while the Chalice -which is the V- is the symbol of a woman, it symbolise the woman's womb.
