The leg-lift is a visual signal, which may relate to:

1. "Hey center, I'm ready to receive the snap at your leisure"
2. "Hey flanker, start your motion"
3. "Hike the ball in 3 seconds"
4. "Hey defense, I'm just ****in' with 'ya"
5. "Team: no audible, run the play as called when we did the
huddle-thingy"
6. "Damn, these pants are tight and my balls are pinched"
7. "That Jessica Simpson is HOT ... she can suck the chrome off a
trailer hitch!"
8. "Begin countdown for whatever we're counting down for"
9. &tc.
