Hugshake January 28, 2008

So I’m back with my topic from yesterday. I’ve put a little research into this, actually, and I’ve found out that i was thinking about two different things. One is called the hugshake. It’s pretty much just a really awkward way to shake hands/hug so that it’s acceptable for dudes. What happens is this: one dude approaches the other and puts out a hand as if to shake hands, and once the hand is met, both guys move forward to embrace but stop short just in time and pat each other on the back with their left hand.

This = Stupid. Either hug or shake hands, don’t be that much of a hipster to where you have to do the latest thing.

The other thing I was thinking of doesn’t have a name, that I’m aware of. Its like a handshake without a shake. First, the two guys put their hand together like they are about to shake hands, but then take their hand away then put it back and do some funky thumb thing. It’s weird and awkward for all parties involved. Seriously.

You know, that thing where a dude like puts his hand out and you think you’re gonna shake his hand and then he starts doing all this crazy stuff with his thumb and you’re like woah man I don’t remember learning this secret handshake. It’s like half handshake half thumb wrestle. I’ll elaborate on this tomorrow, but for now I have to go. Eek.
