Action description

With one hand, extend all five fingers but touch the fingertips together. Face the palms towards yourself and place it in front of your nose. Move it from the side it was on to the other side (i.e. if it's the right hand, move it from right to left) and rotate your wrist so your fingertips are traveling along an arc; maintain a frowning expression. The term describes the emotions elicited when the actions you've taken results in unintended consequences; frustration; hapless; and self-sabotage.
