Default Re: to wag

Attention: I’m not a teacher.

Hi jtgf,

I found the following meaning of the verb in question:

wag (v) = to move (a body part) rapidly from side to side or up and down, as in playfulness, agreement, admonition, or chatter.

There is a brief excerpt of a funny story:

….I decided not to cause an accident and continued accelerating. to which the woman, pissed that i didn’t let her get over, started screaming and shaking her head in the “oh no she di’int” kind of way.
I told to her: “Don’t wag your head at me

There are two verses of two different versions of the Bible:

Webster's Bible Translation
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and wag his head.


Jewish Publication Society Tanakh
To make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.

Regards.

V.
