Line 161:
* In ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]: Ghosts Of Onyx'' Kelly flips off a Sentinel drone to distract it while her team sets up an attack.
* The V-sign is obliquely referred to in ''[[Harry Potter]]'', where it is always referred to as an "obscene hand gesture" so as not to give the children any ideas.
** The most direct reference to it being the V-sign is in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Half-Blood Prince]]'', in which Mrs Weasley threatens to jinx Ron's fingers together if she sees him doing it again.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Arya lists a number of things she's learned in Braavos, including obscene gestures such as "the fig."
* In ''[[Stephanie Plum|Plum Spooky]]'', Stephanie comments "getting and giving the finger is a way of life in Jersey". She does, however, find it a bit odd to be getting this gesture from a pet monkey she's babysitting.
