CY 101: Silent Applause

This is a time-saver, and keeps palms from getting bruised in a particularly appreciative audience. Borrowed from American Sign Language, Silent Applause allows an audience to show their appreciation while the speaker continues his or her presentation.

The way to silently applaud is by putting both hands in the air and fluttering them. This power tool can be used pretty much any time you want to show appreciation for something that someone has said.
