The sign that you speak of is not just for some offence given. It is a threat sign sometimes used by the Mafia. It is a general curse sign from ancient times. The symbolism is that of the horned goat or the god Pan (whence we get the word 'panic'). A pagan god symbol it later morphed under the Christian Church to be a sign of the devil, a horned anti-god. The Church deeming all things pagan to be devilish. In modern times the sign may be taken as an insult just as is a cocked finger or fist. Centuries ago you may have been arrested for it as delivering a witches curse to someone else. The meaning of symbols changes over time as cultures and attitudes and beliefs change, the same with words in languages.
