Even "calling a taxi" and "calling a waiter" would be pretty sus if you put your hand over your heart first and then rapidly raise your hand. Even more so if you do it twice in quick succession after you gave a fascist speech.

Yeah, I think the subtle differences in calling a taxi are more noticeable in motion. I would say it's the same height as the Nazi salute, but easily distinguishable by the motion. Usually you've got one finger pointing, and/or you're doing a waving motion with your hand. As you said, you are not making the movement of a salute gesture.

Wdym? I typically smack a tit (mine) before calling a waiter over. Perhaps it’s a regional thing?
