Default Two fingered salute

Racking my feeble brain cells, I seem to recall that this might have derived from RAF ground crews who used this sign indicating that they needed assistance to bring a starter mechanism to fire up an aircraft, and at the same time saying :Two six on the trolley acc". (Trolley accumulator).

Otherwise, I ascribe to Tony's description of a rude, upward sweeping gesture meaning "Up yours"?

It wouldn't be a bastardization of the Boy Scout salute, surely.:
