[Andy-B]

There’s a rumor that it comes from a battle during the Hundred Years War, when British soldiers cut off the middle fingers of archers to prevent them from using a bow, then taunted them by flipping theirs. However, this is highly unlikely, as this site shows: http://www.snopes.com/spoons/fracture/pluckyew.htm Most likely the longest finger is supposed to represent a male member, as a way of saying: ‘Up yours!’
