parade wave
Oscillation of the hand from the wrist with minimal input from the elbow or shoulder. Popularised by the British Royal Family.
Often to be seen from the back of landaus and throught the glass of armoured limousines as royals waft past.
Unpopular with American presidents who seem to prefer a more grandstanding straight up from the shoulder type vigorous waggling of the whole arm. But then, they only have to do it for 8 years, not a lifetime.
