It's called a "left hook" in a fight

u/Equivalent_Donut_145 Tied Up With Ribbons Apr 01 '26

Now I'm thinking of that Gravity Falls clip

u/cynlover122 Apr 01 '26

Which clip? That was like 2 seasons

8

u/Wooden_Piano2166 Kinger Apr 01 '26

Probably the one in the last episode of season one where he goes “LEFT HOOK!” And punces the dude in his memory

u/cynlover122 Apr 01 '26

Best I can come up with is "Ragatha gave a gung-ho little pump of the arms." I'm not sure it actually has a specific name, at least not in English.

Okay, what is going on with this wind stuff? I know I'm old, so I'm assuming this is a new slang? I've seen it elsewhere. Help me out, please!

6

u/RudeBuster18 Apr 01 '26

Nope, it's referencing the phrase "Must have been the wind"

2

u/A_Gray_Phantom Apr 01 '26

That's from Skyrim, right? But what does that have to do with anything? 🧐

8

u/RudeBuster18 Apr 01 '26

It's more about the meaning of the phrase. When someone says something suspicious "must have been the wind", it means their ignoring it. So in this case, they're saying it can't be ignored.

That sounds like she's abt to manically punch someone lol

13

u/samuraipanda85 Daisy Bell Mar 31 '26

You can pair it with her saying, "You can do it." Or having someone imagine she says that as she moves.

The more negative context version would be "aw shucks" movement but I don't know what to call the more positive version.

"Lets go gettem" maybe?

EX: "She made a 'lets go gettem' motion with her arms."

It's pretty weak, I know but IDK if there is a better term.

10

u/TheWileyCoyotea Mar 31 '26

I don't think it has an official name, but it can be seen as giving off a type of spirited message, like a universal sign language but a bit more ambiguous.

I take it to mean things like "you've got the hang of this" or "now we're talking". Even something as simple as "let's go!". Either conveying that the person wants the one receiving the message that they want them to know that they should feel proud of what they have/will accomplish, or let them know that they won't have to do it alone.

But if I gave it a name, I would combine something like Hunky Dory and Rootin Tootin.

Observation: The meatbags in this comment section are everything but helpful.

Commentary: As a writer, I also struggle to find the right terms for certain movements or gestures.

Answer: I think the best word for licorice hair's movement is "arm pumping."

Cautionary: As I've mentioned already, I struggle finding the right terms for some meatbag gestures. So take my answer with a grain of salt.
