Bush is not from Texas. A small detail, I suppose, but a good one to get correct.

It's British though of course a lot of continental Europeans have come to learn what it means, which is "go forth and multiply"-off! (happy now, censors?). Popular history has it that the gesture originated as a taunt by Welsh longbow-men to their enemies, showing that they still had their "bow fingers" to draw the string and loose the arrow. The longbow made of yew and most expertly used by the Welsh in particular was the most lethal infantry weapon in European combat (until gunpowder was introduced).
