OK...try this description.

She was waving her arms up and down, holding her hands palm up.

I just used the "similar" reference to keep from typing she was flapping her arms like a stupid bird.

I wouldn't have had any questions had you said she "was flapping her arms like a stupid bird." And that phrase makes me laugh

This thread is amazing.

(Also: I'm reminded sharply of one of football trainers, yelling at the rookies while doing signals practice - we all learn to be Rs in 2nd year for little league games - "Unsportsmanlike conduct has steady arms. You're not ****ing birds.")
