Well, a banana is curved - so are types of waves.
We have in the sport of rugby football and rugby league a type of kick called the 'banana kick.' This is a kick that curves left or right when it appears it should be going in the opposite direction. You can also spread your fingers out like a bunch of bananas. Can you have a banana wave - I guess you can.
I don't use the word 'wait' with Taylor. I use 'hold it' or 'stay' (standing or sitting). But a word that could suggest that a wave is the appropriate response, would be good. So also there is 'goodbye' - one sometimes waves when one says goodbye: waves goodbye.
