waved him off
A name for a hand gesture you do to someone when you want them to do your bidding and/or change their mind for them. It is a reference to
the Jedi mindtrick seen in the Star Wars movie where the Jedi says "these are not the
droids you are looking for" and gestures and the
bad guys reply "these are not the droids we are looking for and walk away. They really were the droids they were looking for.
