Get the carrot-waving mug.1. A wave that is unbreaking and ongoing. Can be regular or modulated (as long as the modulations are themselves regular).
2. The ongoing gesture made by a friend, spouse, or other acquaintance whose ship is leaving the harbor.
3. The Wave happening inside a stadium that goes on for an unusually long time. This phenomenon is rare, and should be memorized like it's a double rainbow.

Examples:
1. A flashlight, the sun, and any other solid light.
2. Constant, ongoing sounds, such as the "beeeeeeeeep" tone marking someone's death at a hospital, a mosquito that just won't go away, a broken car horn after it has rear-ended somebody.
3. "For five solid minutes my friend continuously waved to the masses below as the ship moved away. He might have gone on waving then, but I didn't see him afterwards so I dunno."
4. Guy 1: "Remember that time The Wave broke out at the game a year ago? The one that went on for like five minutes?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, now that's what I call a continuous wave. You don't see shit like that every day."

Get the thunder wave mug.No matter how badly someone might break your heart, after enough time passes, we still aren't ready to burn that bridge. If you saw them again, you would still be somewhat cordial and polite. Just give an honest honk and wave. Make him/her feel like an ass.
"She really broke my heart in two. If we drove side-by-side on the highway, maybe i could honk and wave." - paraphrased from a Limbeck song.
