It MAY have originated as a vulgar reference to a woman's sex organs  - either the V of the pudenda or a pair of open legs - indicating the recipient of the gesture was not "a real man."

Definitely not. S-e-x wasn't invented until the 1960s. Women in Victorian time didn't have s-e-x-y bits, there was just a massive toilet roll below their dresses.

Don't be silly, didn't you learn at school that the Ancient Britons lived in crude huts and had rough mating on the floor*. ;)


*Apocryphally a schoolboy's essay version of "rush matting."

Having just read through the driver ones again, I'm reminded of the people who I like to cathartically refer to as The 40mph F***ers!  You know the ones: 50, 60 or national speed limit, they pootle along at 40; on into the 40 mph section, fine and dandy: we're observing the limit; then you hit the 30mph section and off they zoom... 

Doesn't matter what the road conditions; 40, 40, 40... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(



Full of them around here!

Or even worse - chugging along at 38, you go to pass and they accelerate.
