Does a wink have a meaning?

Like I already said it depends on the context of a person…meaning, on a person’s surroundings. Normally, it’s a shared communication between at least two persons… of course, you can always wink at yourself in the mirror, but what’s the meaning of that? I believe only you can tell that.
One of the meanings of a wink is to tease someone else or to flirt with another.
A wink can also be fun…it’s funny sometimes to wink at someone you know…of course, if both of you understand the meaning of that wink you just gave…
But sometimes it can seem a little offensive if the person receiving the wink doesn’t understand the meaning.
