you put two fingers up in a "V" (the rabbit ears) behind someones' head? I have seen it for decades, but don't really know it's EXACT meaning ...

the person getting the "fingers" is a "devil" and they look really stupid in the family picture.

6. Correct. From Shakexpearian era--horns of a cuckold. |

Not sure why a cuckold has horns, however.

11. I believe that that is the origin... |
|
...but I see it done to women as well as men nowadays, and I suspect that the old imagery is no longer being referenced even unconsciously by most of us.

10. It singnals that you are horny!!! |
|
That's what my friends and I were taught bunny ears meant. So if someone put the v on you, you were horny. Along with green M&M's... they make you horny. And if you wore green on Thursday, you were horny. I don't think we really new what horny was all that well because we were only 7 and 8.
