Usage
"Jazz hands!" is used to refer to a person holding his/her hands out (usually to the side) with the palms forward and fingers spread wide.
Origins
This was a common riff on MST3K, usually delivered in a, shall we say 'jazzy' voice when somebody either assumed the jazz hands position, or looked as if they might.
Jazz hands is the actual choreography term for this position--see Bob Fosse for multiple examples.
