Officially, "The Picard Maneuver" is a trick that Picard came up with to fool enemy sensors into seeing two ships and not knowing which to fire at.

Unofficially it's the way Picard always awkwardly readjusts his uniform (which is what my profile pic is). He does it constantly.

There was also a Riker Maneuver, which was unofficially the way that Jonathan Frakes stepped over the back of a chair to sit down.

That gif is improved with DJO's gun loading sound.

I'd be happy, happy in Paraguay.
