What are those hand and finger signals meaning???
You got me about those hand signals. Seems all the “Hawaiians” do it, even fake Hawaiians, apparently.
I looked it up:
“The shaka sign is a gesture of greeting. It is associated with Hawaii and surfers (also other boarding sports like skateboarding and snowboarding). To make the sign, extend your thumb and pinky finger while keeping the three middle fingers curled. You then raise your hand in salutation with your fingers facing you. For emphasis, you can wiggle your hand back and forth.
Some of the many meanings of the shaka hand sign are, “hello,” “goodbye,” “cool,” “okay,” “see you later,” and “take care.”
The shaka sign was used as a campaign signal by Frank Fasi, a populist Honolulu politician of the 1970s and 1980s. Fasi was a territorial senator and the longest-serving mayor of Honolulu (1969 to 1981).”

Perhaps in this instance, it means, “Thanks for all your help hiding the truth” or, perhaps, “Ha! We sure put one over on you idiots.”
