dorkwave 

When a loser or nerd waves at you, thinking he's your friend and you look away quickly pretending you did not see him. This is a very awkward moment for the nerd.
I can't believe it, I was wogging through Central Park today, and that dork Reginald from shop class saw me. Before we made eye contact, I glanced away, turning his attempt at greeting me with a hand gesture into a dorkwave. Hah, hah, I wogged in the opposite direction before he could try again!

dorkwave 

Dorkwave (dôrk’-wav)
Origin – (dork - vulgar slang for the penis) + (wav - to make a signal with an up-and-down or back-and-forth movement of the hand or an object held in the hand)

1. Wagging one's own penis after micturating to release the last few drops of urine before zipping up one's trousers.

2. The act of grasping one's own (or other's) penis whilst holding the testes with the other hand (thereby repressing them from movement), and presenting it forcefully with an undulating motion at another's face, or at an anonymous passerby. If in an aroused state, bouncing upon one's forehead is also popular. Two simultaneous dorkwaves often results in a "swordfight."
Gerald needs to perfect his dorkwave, he's always got a wet spot on the front of his trousers when he comes back from the bathroom.

Some man with a frightening look on his face just gave me a dorkwave outside of your cubicle.

Dark Wave 

People that dress gothic industrial (example: bondage pants or straight jacket, make up both male and female, clothes colour like blue or black or white, usually long hair, hand cuffs or bondage props). Hair spikey or like a mop. NOT SATANIC!!!

Prefer music to industrial with a fusion of symphony (gothic): The Cruxshadows, The Birthday Massacre and others.

Dark Wave is not: NIN, Marilyn Manson or Covenant.
Dark Wave people would look like from "silent hill" or another industrial factory/asylum type horror theme.

Attitude: Fun "chuckle" or "lol", weird expressions like "locked and grin" style looks but keep to themselfs and treat others equally.
