By coincidence, I had just read this:

<http://jargon-file.org/archive/jargon-1.5.0.dos.txt>

| HANDWAVE
| 1. verb. To gloss over a complex point; to distract a listener; to
| support a (possibly actually valid) point with blatantly faulty logic.
| If someone starts a sentence with "Clearly..." or "Obviously..." or "It
| is self-evident that...", you can be sure he is about to handwave.
| The idea is that if you wave your hands at the right moment, the

| you might try to dismiss the objection "with a wave of your hand".
