finger wave 

Term describing the anal prostate check portion of the annual physical examination done on older men. The "finger wave" is done by the gloved hand of the examining physician. One only hopes that while the "finger wave" is being done you don't feel both of the doctor's hands on your shoulders at the same time or you're in trouble.

Old man Klaune went to the doctor and got a finger wave.

Originally, a women's hair style in the late 1930's and early 1040's, characterized by a series of ridges as though a hand with spread fingers was placed on the hair and then the fingers closed.

The slang definition of the term, initially attributed to the military, was used for a prostate examination as described above.

Be sure the proctologist doesn't have both hands on your shoulders when he gives you a finger wave.

Ghost Finger Wave 

The act of using your right arm and extending your middle finger as in "the finger" or the middle finger (as in giving someone the (middle) finger or the bird or flipping someone off) as an obscene hand gesture but staying at a horizontal angle (much like a Sieg Heil but winding in and out your middle finger keeping your other fingers closed) whilst Ghost Riding past people and Police on your illegal Electric Bike thus giving the Police "the finger" Ghost style not like the Queen Mother who did this with all four fingers (Royal Finger Wave).

I love to give people and the Police a Ghost Finger Wave whilst I Ghost Ride.

Royal Finger Wave 

The act of a member of the Royal Family waving at a member of the public but not in a Royal style (hand rotating in a forward direction with fingers fixed at a horizontal angle) but with their hand and fingers pointing to the person and them moving their fingers up and down in a friendly manner just like they are waving at an acquaintance.

In 1982 the Queen Mum waved at me with a Royal Finger Wave and not the usual Royal Wave whilst I crossed a bridge over the River Thames in London with my father.

one-finger wave 

Just another sly euphemism for flipping the bird.

As Team Trump entered the courtroom, I thought I saw someone right there near the front do an ever-so-brief one-finger wave intended for the onetime Insurrectionist in Chief.
