waved him off
A name for a hand gesture you do to someone when you want them to do your bidding and/or change their mind for them. It is a reference to the Jedi mindtrick seen in the Star Wars movie where the Jedi says "these are not the droids you are looking for" and gestures and the bad guys reply "these are not the droids we are looking for and walk away. They really were the droids they were looking for.
Tina: "How did you get Max to work for you again so you could get a couple weeks off?"
Jeff: "I waved him off with the old Jedi mind control. It was easy."
