continuous wave

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."

carrot-waving

Insincere offers of incentives used in place of actual incentives or as virtue signaling. Mentioning funding, promotions or benefits without the authority, intention or ability to deliver.
Management has nothing left to offer us apart from some carrot-waving. Frankly, I’m more worried where that carrot is going to end up.”

Now Wave

The bastard child of No Wave, raised on blown-out amps, rusted distortion pedals, and YouTube rips of forgotten noise rock demos. Think modern no wave guitar skronk, noise rock tantrums, industrial clangs, and just enough rhythm to keep the basement mosh pit from collapsing into complete chaos.
"This band is straight up Now Wave, now you will hear us rumble your balls"

Wave Machine

Something that's on full pelt when the steams are flowing. Riding the waves until they wipe you out.

squee wave

The deafening almost physical wave of noise made by thousands of tween girls attending a large concert that happens as a boy-band takes the stage.
I almost died from the squee wave as One Direction took the stage.
