Pretty for sure. But Yew goes deep, deep, deep into our collective culture. The Brits did it to us (again). Seems Yew is (or at least was) the classic wood for bows back in the day when your archers kept the rabble off your knights in the field of honor (that means war). Dense clouds of indirect fire from massed archers provided cover fire were essential to 'modern' armies. It took many years (and constant practice) to train and field such batteries of archers, they were nearly as valuable an asset as the mounted knights. Captured archers, taken in battle, often had their 'arrow finger(s)' cut off and released (no further military threat).
The ability to "Pluck Yew" was a threat indeed, not to be taken lightly. That became a popular taunt/threat. Changing some over time to the ever popular 'f*** you' we know so well today. Armies in the day would collect within 'shouting distance' of each other and party down as a prelude to battle, safely just out of arrow range. Along with that came two familiar gestures, both from waving those all important 'arrow fingers' at the other side to show you were not a page but a true threat to the other side, one became Churchill's famous 'V for Victory' (backwards 'peace sign') and the more common and universally single upraised digit.
Or so they tell me......and I done went and tolt you too now.
So Yew is culturally very important to us. Without it we would not have our most universally understood 'non verbal communication' and many New York cab drivers would be at a loss for words.
