The Gesture: A proper strealat occurs when the hand is turned facing away from the body towards the recipient of the strealat, the middle finger is touching the palm, and the rest of the fingers are held straight out. Saying 'strealat!' while the gesture is enacted is optional, but has been known to increase the potency of a strealat tenfold.
