For me, twist need not be a spinning motion (round and round); a road can twist (meaning it ...

You might have seen movies in which a person leaving jokingly bowed toward the other person (as if the other person was a member of royal family) while moving their hand in a circular motion and often slowly backing up. The .gif below is just to hint at the hand motion that I have in mind.
