A signal originally founded from an ancient
game, known as "
cricket". Now used commonly in the north of England
Can be signalled at any apparent time, but is used most effectively to acknowledge a positive action, or
something which a pair or large section of a group found amusing.
The phrase is to be used while partaking in the 4 signal (outstretching one arm away from your body and moving it back, forth, back and forth -- until the arm has moved 4 times), stating the action by name as it is performed.
Individuals who are experienced in signalling 4 will
almost certainly develop a personal technique, renowned amongst their peers.
It can be used in 2 different scenarios:
1) Stated while performing the signal in appropriate situation.
2) Typed in bold letters in any
chat (Facebook,
MSN, text) if face-to-face conversation isn't available but a situation is deemed appropriate.

Examples
1) You mean, he just shouted at someone in their car, and they turned around, parked up and threatened to
kill him?!

2) FACEBOOK
CHAT- So we're definatly on for Saturday?

- *Signals 4* -- at this point, the person
may choose to actually perform a 4 signal on their own, entirely preference.
