It's called "STIRRING THE POT". An event practiced in South Africa by bored individuals by literally using an over-sized wooden spoon and stirring any fictitious substance in preferably a big black three-legged-pot. In some countries it is also known as being "sarcastic". Takes an expert to pick up on it, but here in the good ol' RS of A, we are quite used to it.
In fact, if my memory serves me right, fluffyfan and suitcaseman both have national colors in this "sport". They are referred to as KAK-PRATERS, which in English (and American) means TALKING SH1T
