He adopted the move following a television appearance in May 2012 opposite sports presenter Clare Balding, on the panel game show A League of Their Own . The host James Corden suggested to the panelists that they should think of a new dance to mark Farah's winning celebration, and Balding subsequently came up with the "M" gesture called "Mobot". While demonstrating it for the first time, she indicated that the part of the move intended to represent the "M" in "Mo" was inspired by the dance to "YMCA", a popular song by the Village People . Corden himself then named it as the "Mobot". A robot was named "Mobot" at a university research exhibition, in honour of Farah's celebration . Farah has since used the pose as part of a charity to raise funds for his foundation . Virgin Media has promised to donate £ 2 for every YouTube video that is uploaded with someone doing the mobot . Farah often uses the sign - off Shabba in online postings . </P>
