Off topic, but I need to reply to that one - A "respected" (and I use that term loosely) journalist used that term when watching a player score a try in a rugby league match in my country. Apparently she thought he was doing 'jazz hands'.

This caused controversy, as the gentleman in question has a best friend who translates Auslan for a living. For the benefit of non-Aussie readers, Auslan is the official name for Australian sign language. As anyone whose ever watched Adam Hills could tell you, "jazz hands" is actually how deaf people show applause :)
