dismissive wave
Hand flick goodbye
A dismissive wave is a hand gesture that signals rejection, disinterest, or the end of a conversation.
The motion is typically quick and away from the body, brushing off whatever has been said: She gave a dismissive wave and turned back to her work.
It conveys that something isn't worth further attention or discussion.
