Re: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish?
I also believe this to be false. Firstly, I first heard it about the "two-finger salute" rather than the middle finger (which is widely cited as being phallic in origin rather than archery-based). Secondly drawing a longbow usually uses three fingers, rather than two. Thirdly, the origin of "fuck" is generally believed to have been derived from middle-German "fikken" rather than the pun above.
