Tail Wagging 

1. When you create events to happen to suit your agenda.
2. Manipulating the universe around you in such a way that you get what you want and no one knows you set it up.
3. Planned luck.
4. creating a 0% risk event for yourself or others.

Tail-wagger 

A tail-wagger is someone that follows a crowd or a movement without truly questioning the validity or purpose for it. TailTail-waggers often copy hashtags or wear pink kitten hats. They see others in the crowd doing something, so they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Kind of like when you want a dog to do a trick or behave a certain way, you reward it with a pat on the back and a treat and it wags its tail, because it's excited to have the approval of the boss.
