I can't shush about this any more, it's driving me crazy because i don't think fanfic authors mean Crowley to be flipping people off all the time.

In canon, Crowley sometimes salutes using two fingers. That's fine. You can call that *a* two fingered salute.

But if you say *the* two fingered salute? That is extremely rude and basically means eff off.

If you want to demonstrate the number two in the UK, you want to be palm out. The way Crowley does the salute is OK but you have to be careful not to alter your hand placement lest you slip into Extremely Rude.

Please god spread the word. Every single time I read this I'm pulled out of the flow and have to go wait is he being offensive or not? It's hugely distracting and drives me kinda crazy!

People talk about the US refusing to convert to the metric system but what the fuck are we doing in the UK? I know my weight in stone and pounds but I weight my food in kg. I only know my height in feet and inches and the speed limit is in miles per hour, but my swimming pool is 25 meters long. I buy a pint of cider but spirits come in bottles labelled litre. It’s a completely ridiculous system that makes absolutely no sense. Would I change it? No
