In India, there is a motion of the head which is more of a wag than a shake.

But yes, in general keep wag for tails and fingers as well as flags.

Hi,
Thanks!
Good you have mentioned "flag" because it's an old doubt that I have.
I didn't find any entry on BMC and very few on Google for "wag" referring to "flag".
Could it be that it is correct but not used very often? If so, what would be the popular expression for it?
Thanks again!
