Waves are shown here in the photograph on the right.
When someone "makes waves," this can mean two things: they’re either making a positive difference, what is known as a "splash" or an "impact," or it can mean that they are causing problems. Examples:
"It’s probably best if we don’t make any waves and complain about the food, I don’t want to have to go stand in that line" or "The election is only one week away, if he doesn’t start making some waves, there’s no way he can win" or "Ever since he joined that new football team he started making waves. In the last five games he has scored nine goals!"
Another definition of the word wave has to do with the motion that people make with their hands when saying either "hello" or "goodbye". Examples:
"President George W. Bush turned around and waved to us before he got on the plane to head back to the United States" or "When you get to the boat, just wave your arms and I’ll come down and get you."
When people are in large cities and wish to hire the services of a taxi, they’ll "wave down a taxi," or
"wave a taxi down" and then ask for a ride.
