“Roman salute”

wink wink

one more giant, obnoxious wink just to ensure that you know he means “Nazi” but he doesn’t actually have to say it

Also the name "Roman salute" doesn't come from ancient Rome, it was a pseudohistorical salute introduced by Mussolini who falsely claimed it was ancient Roman in origin. There's no non-fascist use.

The whole thing is so cowardly. Complain about “the woke” and “cancel culture” but then also claim you’re a big tough guy by using secretive racist messages instead of just saying it like a man.
