Why do Japanese girls habitually make the V sign on pictures taken by them, btw?

Koreans do it too. It originates in the V for victory sign.

[Syt]

I know that, but its prevalence seems a bit weird.

[Josquius]

Its not just girls, its people too.
Once one gets into the habit of doing it it can be rather hard to stop....I have become all too aware of doing nothing with my hands and how weird that looks.
I remember reading it came from some Japanese skiier or somesuch back in the 70s?

Note the modesty of her attire, the traditional, unassuming hair cut, and the proximity to multiple cats.

  Bad, Bad Leroy Brown is so pleasant! It immediately calls to mind "Hard" culture and the self-destructive actions of Memphis's Chicago's coloured community,

Despite the origin, I believe they use it in the context of "peace", not "victory".  Of course, in them WW2 days, it was the same thing.

No, it still means victory here.

It might be different in Korea vs Japan.

a spittoon for vile men to cast their lusts.

That's fucking hot.

I dunno why I found it so funny, but you made me laugh.  You're one of the good Germans.

Every damn night, a damn skunk bombs the area near my bedroom windows.
