doing the v's 

Also called 'giving (it, them, someone) the v's.'

This is sticking up at someone or something as a gesture of defiance the index and middle finger, separated to form a 'v' shape, with the thumb and other two fingers folded in towards the body. It is usually executed with an upward thrusting movement or flick of the whole hand. Making the gesture with both hands at the same time adds emphasis and expresses stronger emotional vehemence.

It derives from the medieval wars between the English and the French. English archers were renowned for their use of the powerful and deadly longbow. If they were captured by the French their captors would cut off their index and middle finger before allowing them to be ransomed so that they would never again be able to draw the longbow against them. Hence displaying these two fingers signifies defiance as it means something like "I don't have to fear you because I have the capacity to use the longbow, therefore I can get you." Today, however, this origin is largely forgotten and it is more generally seen just as vulgar and insulting.

Velocity, Viscosity, Volume, View, and Violence. The five categories you can rate your pooping expierence on, each on a scale of 1-10:

Velocity: How fast was your poop? Was it super slow and hard to push out? Like you're constipated (1)? Or was it like a shotgun: one second it's in, then bang, it's out, and you go flying off the toilet (10).

Viscosity: What was the thickness like? Was it runny diarrhea (1)? Or was it a rock (10)?

Volume: How large was your poop? Was it a tiny little rabbit turd (1)? Or were you like "HOLY SHIT HOW DID THAT JUST FIT OUT OF MY ASS HOLE?!" (10)?

View: How was the view and surroundings while you were taking your poop? Were you in a stinky stall in a public restroom with a bunch of bugs (1)? Or were you in a nice, private bathroom with a pleasant scent and a magazine (10)?

Violence: You can interpret this one however you like.
