A slight hand gesture used to wave for prolonged periods of time (like during a parade)or as a casual non-verbal greeting to friends. With the arm bent at the elbow, the waver turns their wrist back and forth exposing the front and then the back of the hand in a single motion.
I didn't feel like talking so I gave her a quick parade wave as I walked by.

whoopsie wave

When you wave to someone you know and another person intercepts your wave mistakenly as if you are waving to them, e.g. caught in the crossfire of your wave.
I was waving to Eddy at the show and Phil thought I was waving to him. Awkward... Phil waved back to me as he was caught in a whoopsie wave. It's almost as bad as when Jim invited me to lunch, thinking I was Tony because his phone contacts were screwed up resulting in Jim texting me with an invite.

mis-wave

To wave to somebody you thought was someone you knew but really you just waved to a complete stranger. That complete stranger gives you a look of dismay not for the wave but for the enthusiasm and excitement you conveyed along with your wave.
Who the heck was that person waving to me like he knew me. It must have been a mis-wave. What a jackass!
