Wag is a short, one-syllable noun meaning a quick, tilting motion, often of the tail or a similarly playful gesture. In casual speech it can describe a playful, suggestive motion (as in a wag of the finger), and it also appears in contexts like 'wag the tail' or 'a wag at a joke.' The word conveys lightness or mischief rather than seriousness.
