paced
the Italian word for peace, which people use like it's a magic spell to calm everyone down, usually with their fingers making the peace sign like they're trying to shut up a whole room
My uncle said ‘pace’ with his fingers and everyone stopped fighting. It was like magic.
My mom made the peace sign and my brother stopped teasing me. It worked.
My teacher said ‘pace’ and the whole class got quiet. I was impressed.
