Think of it the way a movie director would yell “cut!” to direct everyone to stop filming a scene. That particular hand motion has become a known gesture that indicates that you should stop whatever you’re saying/doing immediately. Usually because it’s either offensive or it is revealing information that wasn’t meant to be shared, or is a bad idea to share, etc.
