"Air quotes" is a gesture used in conversation to indicate that a word or phrase should not be taken literally or should be understood as being ironic, sarcastic, or dubious. It involves raising both hands and bending the index and middle fingers at a 90-degree angle, then wiggling them while saying the quoted word or phrase.
