*"pound it" you fist bump :]
*"swoosh" you raise your hand like you are making a basketball and say 'soosh'!
*"what does a snake say? hissss" and you hiss!
*"meow" and you meow back.
*"nose goes!" and you stick your finger on your nose.
*"no no no no no" uncle taught you this at 6 months. and you shake your head.

*"tongue" if we stick our tongue out, you will too...repeatedly.
