Jam Hand Signals?

Or what about D minor?

Like Bruce said, that's 1 flat, it's the relative minor of F Major.

G7 (mixolydian)?

G Major. If you were simply specifying the key of a song the band knows (i.e. such & such a song, in G) - you'd just specify G Major, which is 1 sharp. Even if the Fs aren't sharp.

B diminished? (lochrian)?

And can you think of any tunes for which you'd want to say "B Locrian" is the key?!? :D
