Another dumb question from King Stupid of the Grand Duchy of Retardia

The arm motion a referee makes when he makes a traveling call: what would you call it? It's for a shitty story that'll suck, but at least I can get that right.

 

I just call it the sign or signal for travelling.
Is there another name for it?

 

I thought this was going to be about our esteemed commander in chief.

Buck is right. There is no name for it except the signal for travelling (and please do not start a running travelling thread)

 

No wonder you don't use your real name on here, MM.

 

I mean the actual arm motion. Like a clipping call in football would be a sweeping motion of the arm behind the leg, or a first down would be pointing the arm toward the opposing team's end zone. That sort of thing.

 

How about revolving your hands around each other in a circular motion? Too wordy?

 

I wonder how deaf people tell each other what ref signals mean.

 

That's what I was thinking. I keep coming back to the word "mixing", but that's stupid! The Hustle?

 

How about: 'similar to a referee's false start signal in football.'
That's a pretty good description.

 

The HabiTrail hand jive

 

How about simply "a rotation of the forearms"?

Or maybe The Daunte Culpepper "See ya' on The Love Boat" dance?

 

Rolling your arms over each other?
