English as its spoken in Australia is full of interesting and colorful slang. If you're giving a so-called "Aussie Salute," what are you doing?
Answer Waving Away Flies
Also known as the Barcoo Salute, the Aussie Salute is a common gesture used to wave away bush flies from your face. This is due to the fact that that are a lot of flying insects on the continent. This quick movement involves rotating the hand to run fingers parallel to the jaw repeatedly.
