I feel like 'silent fox' is something that's specific to certain cultures. If it wasn't used in your school the phrase means nothing to you. Plus, it has other meanings in other areas. 'Fox_hand_gesture' leaves out any specific names or meanings.

"silent fox gesture" doesn't really make sense as a replacement for generic fox shadow puppets, since it's possible to make sounds alongside shadow puppets, which would be not silent. Though honestly, the way the fox_shadow_puppet tag is being used is also not good, as it's for a hand gesture without any shadow puppets visible:

Neither "silent" nor a shadow puppet. fox_hand_gesture may be a better term.

I would agree with sending it to fox_hand_gesture. It seems like the best name to use for it here, being clear in meaning while also avoiding other naming complications.
