If you're in an American city I think you're talking about gang signs.
Punkasses can't just speak up. It's all a big secret.

The 2 fingers comes from the war between France and England. The French would cut off the arrow fingers of prisoners so English soldiers when leaving the battle field would show they still had the arrow fingers. Sort of " I'll be back"

The two fingers that form a "v" today mean "peace out". But during WWII, it meant "victory".
