  1. The act of waving a hand in front of the face to flick away flies (particularly bush flies, Musca vetustissima). Australia,humorous
    — [page 46] Even the stuffy diplomats of Canberra, the nation's federal capital, seem to drop their normal besuited reserve to wave what has laughingly become known as the "Aussie salute". But expressing a jovial liking for their fellow men is not what these antipodeans are doing: they are swatting flies. [...] [page 47] Proving that the introduced beetles are affecting bushfly numbers at this early stage is an even more difficult task (the diplomats of Canberra are still waving the Aussie salute).
