 Just bringing up some other gestures for potential inclusion: 

 1. 'Look at the time'/'What's the time?' 
 Index and Middle finger of right hand held together with other fingers tucked in making a double or triple tap on the left wrist. It can either mean "Hurry up/You're out of time" or "Could you tell me the time?" depending on context and facial expression, the gesture is a reference to the customary place to wear a watch. 

 2. 'One moment' 
 Index finger pointing straight up with rest of fingers tucked in and palm/wrist facing forwards (usually accompanied by eye contact). This is used to indicate that the user will shortly ('In a moment' or 'One moment') be ready to focus on whatever the reciever is attempting to draw his or her attention to. This is primarily used when the user is verbally engaged such as being on the phone or having a conversation. 

 3. 'Sipping Tea' 
 This gesture is made by holding the tips of the thumb, index and middle fingers of the left hand together with the pinky finger extended outwards, the hand is then held up in front of the mouth and tipped towards the mouth, miming drinking from a tea-cup. Often the other hand is used as a saucer. This gesture is sarcastic in nature can be used to either mock people or activities, implying that they are overly polite, pointless or prissy. 

 WARNING: Offensive Language! 
 4. 'Dickhead'/'Cocksucker' 
 These gestures are similar to the 'Wanker' in that the hand made into a cylindrical shape to simulate holding a penis. The 'Dickhead' is made by pointing the top of the hand towards the forehead and moving the hand alternately towards and away from the forehead. The intention is to infer that the target is a 'dickhead'. The 'Cocksucker' is similar to the dickhead but the hand is placed in front of the mouth and m0oved back and forth in a manner which is meant to simulate fellatio. This may be accompanied by sucking the cheeks in, poking one cheek out with the tongue in time with the hand gestures and/or sound effects. Depending on the context and intention they can either be humourous or insulting (or humourous and insulting). They are invariably rude. 

 5. 'Live long and prosper'  
 A widely recognised pop culture reference to the Vulcan greeting from Star Trek. This is apparently well recognised in the west (or at least the Anglosphere) even by those who have not seen Star Trek itself. Almost always accompanied by the associated catchphrase. 

 Also an addition to the 'Bang Bang' gesture: 

 The same initial gesture (with either the thumb sticking up or folded down) can also be made with the hand turning up and down along the wrist joint to simulate recoil from multiple firings of a handgun. This can be performed with either one or both hands.
