The "sign" for applause is indeed, clapping, but in many social events, at the end of a presentation, it is common to do the "silent applause/affirmation" that Oliver refers to, where hearing culture would normally applaud. This may not be a referenced sign in dictionaries, but it is found in numerous references to Deaf culture presentations. See CODA brothers on YouTube, or reviews of One Man Show and how reviewers note the Deaf community "applauding silently" by shaking their jazz hands in the air!

It's an awesomely useful gesture, but it's not from American Sign Language. It actually doesn’t originate with that sign.

I'm used to calling it "jazz hands", or just "silent applause/affirmation" and one of the comments I made in that section was that it would be good to acknowledge that the gesture actually originates from the ASL sign for applause. :) I revel in my manly twinkle!
