The "Hillary Shimmy." 91,500 google hits.
Here's one.
The writer talks about the confidence the "shimmy" projected. I think it also was a moment Hillary connected with viewers -- trusting that 84 million viewers understood the joke, too.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign was defined by a teary-eyed moment in New Hampshire. This time around, it might be the shimmy.
When we look back on Monday night’s Trump-Clinton debate, that’s the image that’s going to stick: Clinton, having listened calmly to long and largely incoherent ramble from her opponent, finally got her turn to speak, and launched with a little involuntary “Whoo! OK!” and a shoulder shake.

But what Clinton should take out of the debate is the fact that she can do it: The shimmy, and the confidence it projects, should give her the freedom to go a little bolder next time. It was a meaningful physical gesture: Not a swagger — a projection of dominance — but an inward message to herself.
She has the chance, a very good one, to be the first woman president. That is worthy of a little personal dance of joy.
