	Hand waving - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Hand Waving is the oldest insult ever, as historians have found examples of this type of gesticulation in cave paintings in France depicting hand waving as early as 7000 BC.
		Psychologists still dispute why exactly the hand wave is deemed so offensive, and continue to study the hand wave to this day.
		While the exact meaning of the hand wave is disputed, it is generally taken to mean one of the following meanings.

	Hand Waving
		Waving hands can be a kind of "show me" in the best sense.
		In the mathematical world hand waving has a bad reputation, similar to "proof by intimidation", where you simply announce that a step in a proof is obvious, with the implication that you can't really prove it.
		As a former stage magician, I always took magic hand waving to refer to Prestidigitation, or SleightOfHand.

	Hand waving exercise
		Together, the antenna and the hand form a capacitor, the capacitance of which varies depending on the distance between hand and conductor, and this capacitor in turn varies the freqency of one of two radio-freqency oscillators.
		When a player moves his or her hand from one position, producing a pitch of frequency X, to another, producing frequency Y, it has to go through every frequency in between (unless the player silences the instrument between notes).
		At the beginning and towards the end of its travel, your hand is moving slowly but accelerating or decelerating, while in the middle of its travel it moves faster.

	Simon Owens \| This Hand, Waving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The mother found her husband alone in their room with the hand between his own, the little boy's fingers spread out on his knee, the fingernails sharp and jagged where they had been bitten just days before.
		The guests would watch the hand for a few moments, unsure of what to do, before hesitantly raising their hands and waving in return.
		This is not her son's hand, she thinks, her son is dead, this hand is not dead, sitting here somehow still connected to the living.

		At best, we’re all waxing our surfboards and praying this wave will be big enough to wash away a lot of the cruft and hucksterism of the global coffee machine, contributing where we can, running our mouths, drawing lines in the shifting sand, and enjoying better coffee.
		I do believe that the 3rd wave is a valid thought process on coffee in general, but like I always say I believe the customer is being overlooked and skoffed at by the Intelligentsia of coffee… (not the one in Chicago).
		might show that the 3rd wave and the specialty coffee movement is in some ways a sort of cycle of return to the earlier history of coffee in north america.

	Handwaving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"…both hands up, palms forward, swinging the hands in a vertical plane pivoting at the elbows and/or shoulders (depending on the magnitude of the handwave); alternatively, holding the forearms in one position while rotating the hands at the wrist to make them flutter.
		In context, the gestures alone can suffice as a remark; if a speaker makes an outrageously unsupported assumption, you might simply wave your hands in this way, as an accusation, far more eloquent than words could express, that his logic is faulty."

		In one short sentence he mentioned a couple of examples that, he said, support this claim, but in the talk itself he gave no shred of evidence to justify the analogy to the mathematically elegant Fibonacci spirals.
		It wasn't even hand-waving -- at most one hand waving, or maybe just one appropriate finger.
		I wanted to ask what could possibly constitute non-circular evidence for such a claim, but I couldn't, because he announced at the beginning of the question period that he would recognize only in-group members in the discussion period.

	IOL: Hand-waving gives the memory bank a break
		In experiments with nearly 100 adults and children, psychologists at the University of Chicago found that gesturing while explaining a math problem improved the recall of a previously memorised list of numbers or letters.
		To draw the conclusion, memory test results were compared when subjects were permitted to gesture and when they were told to keep their hands still.
		They said that even blind people gesture with their hands when talking to blind listeners, suggesting another purpose to all the hand-waving.

	Hand Waving Flags
		The Semaphore flag signalling system is an alphabet signalling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern.
		The flags are usually square, red and yellow, divided diagonally with the red portion in the upper hoist.
		The pattern resembles a clock face divided into eight position: up, down, out, high, low, for each of the left and right hands (LH and RH) six letters require the hand to be brought across the body so that both flags are on the same side.

	Catallarchy » Hand Waving on Bias
		If it had not been a particularly good time in the lab between your last presentation and your current one, one would be tempted to ’stretch out’ the presentation by exploring many different hypotheses on your data or engaging in a meta discussion on your work.
		One of the professors in the joint lab meeting coined such bloviation as “hand waving.” Not exactly bullshit, but also nothing much of substance, either, being that its an exercise in distracting your audience from the fact that you… have few facts that would allow you to say something definitive.
		The sleight of hand here is to exploit the dual meaning of “capitalist"; the easy refutation is (or used to be) Ted Turner (except to the hard core Marxist, who believes that Ted’s brand of leftism is really petty bourgeois pseudo-opposition to The Machine that made him rich).

	Mark Bernstein: Hand waving
		There were the kids, got up as various papier-mache deities of some hunter-gatherer group, and there was a concerned parent, signing away, merrily as a grig, to an audience of parents - none of whom were deaf.
		"She was not signing to the deaf, she was waving her arms to make herself feel good."
		The question before us is not ''Who misled Bush?'' the question is how long we Americans, Democrat and Republican, will continue to engage in self-delusive behavior and call it democracy.

		A peaceful and orderly expression of indignation falls within democratic traditions, and represents a legitimate endeavor to influence political decision and debate.
		Resorting to violence, threats, and intimidations, on the other hand, undermines democratic principles, complicates political exchange, and closes public debate, and must therefore be rejected and opposed.
		While most protests over the publication of the insulting cartoons have been orderly and peaceful, albeit indignant, several unfortunate instances have led to loss of life and property.
