Finger Tornado
The awkward twirl of the hand over the screen of a phone, tablet or touchscreen.
When you freeze in the midst of navigating the system, the hand circles like a loading dial.
The motion of the hand with index finger outward, circling over the screen is intended to help speed up the brain to limit the awkward delay. Typically in the presence of a another person observing the motion. But can also occur in a solitary moment of brain fatigue. Strongly associated with excessive caffeine or nicotine use.
