snapping fingers
Thumb-finger percussive pop
Snapping fingers is the act of pressing thumb and middle finger together, then releasing quickly so the finger strikes the palm with a sharp sound.
People snap to get attention, keep rhythm, signal approval, or summon someone: She snapped her fingers to call the waiter.
To do something in a snap or snap of the fingers means to do it instantly.
