It typically involves a continuous wave-like motion, sometimes side-to-side or in a spiraling motion, enabling the creature to move across a surface without limbs. The term can also be used metaphorically for any action that mirrors this sinuous, stealthy movement.

Averaging has brought traders loss only. NEVER BUY WHEN CHART SHOWS DOWNWARD TREND no matter how much it has fallen
