Competitive Hand Waving

1. A euphemism for decision-making based on the best sounding idea.

2. A travel game, whereby contestants traveling in an automobile time the amount of time it takes for people in other automobiles to return a hand wave. Lowest time is best.

Currently, development decision are often made in meetings on the basis of competitive hand waving, when they should be made on the basis of usability data.
