WAG

Celebrity spouse collective

Wag means to move rapidly back and forth or up and down, typically of a tail or finger: The dog wagged its tail.

A wagging finger often accompanies scolding or warning.

A wag is also a person known for clever, often mischievous humor—someone who makes witty remarks: He was the office wag, always ready with a quip.

The phrase the tail wagging the dog describes a situation where a small part inappropriately controls the whole.
