They managed to pull it off flawlessly. If I didn't know better, I'd say that was a secret handshake.

We actually use the 'Awkward Secret Handshake' at work, and that is the name we use. I encourage more people to use this handshake.

The key is to go in like your gonna do one thing, then shift it up when your partner begins to follow your lead. The only downfall is if they accidentally DON'T follow your lead, then it becomes very un-awkward.

[–]FetusExecutioner 10 points11 points ago

So I guess in that scenario it gets awkward when both people start with the fist.

Hey don't worry, my German is one hundred times worse than your English.

I understand what you're saying, you switch between the open hand and closed fist on cue. Sounds secretive. And slightly awkward, but I'll let that pass.

For anyone curious, it's called scharfes S, and is used when a double-s phoneme is preceded by a long vowel.

Did this one time with a complete stranger after a pick up basketball game. We both actually cycled between closed fist and open palm technique about 3 times before I eventually just enclosed his fist with my palm.

[–]heartEffincereal 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. My buddies still talk about it to this day.

Pro Tip: If unsure, always start with the fist pound and maintain it at ALL costs. If the other guy goes for the handshake he will be forced to change, or either grip your fist with his hand. Either way, you come out great while he's left blushing with shame.

I agree. Start shifting it up when you shake hands. Go in with a bump, and when you see them form the bump, change to the handshake, then change back; repeat for effect until full release.

You know what I think the problem is in general. You got all these older guys (40+ of which I am one) who for some reason are trying to keep their cool by incorporating the fist bump. When a 55 year old guy comes up to me and obviously wants to say high, the last thing I expect is for him to do something all the gen-Y kids do ad nauseum. Fuck, just shake my hand like a grown man.

[–]trogdor1234 7 points8 points ago

I freaking hate it when people I don't know try to do some sort of variation on a fist bump or some sort of nonstandard hand shake. I seriously don't know WTF bro hand shake you are going to pull out.

[–]insertAlias 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What I hate is when you're going for a handshake, and the other party grips a bit too soon. They grab your hand mostly by the fingers instead of the palm, and you end up giving a weak-ass limp handshake. And you're aware of it, since that's not the normal handshake you give! And now you're thinking that the other party thinks you've got a weak handshake and....

Yeah, I think too much about it.

[–]OccamsRazer 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I had an old friend from elementary school approach me one time. He sticks out his hand like he's going for some kinda secret handshake so I counter with a flexible grip, that can adapt easily to whatever he goes with. Turns out he was going completely standard. He then made me redo the handshake because it was apparently too weak. Very awkward and embarassing...

[–]tHeSiD 2 points3 points ago

That reminds me of the time I ran into DJ Qbert after he did a set at BLOC and was in awe of his talent, singing him praises. When it came time to part ways I went for the handshake and he went for the fist bump, and we had both already committed so I kind of just grabbed his fist and shook it... then walked away in embarrassment.

I do this all the time on purpose - primarily at my softball games. If someone sticks out their fist, I grab it with my open hand and if someone has an open hand to high five me or shake my hand, I ball my fist and push it into their open hand. It began as a way to avoid awkward high fives/handshakes/fist bumps but now it's just funny. We all get a good laugh. Plus we never have to re-do and awkward moment

[–]UnDire 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well done. And if you initiate the shake/bump/high five the key is to get the other person to commit then shift it, and shift it again, and again, until awkward contact is committed. Glorious!

lol, it's like watching that scene from The Office when Jim tried to shake hands with Tobi, but Tobi went with a fist instead of an open hand... =p

Can't find a clip of Paul Rudd and Some Other Guy doing this on the episode of Stella called "Office Party". But it was awesome, like this is.

I've been stuck in a limbo of going back & forth with the pound/shake for a solid 7 seconds before. Doesn't look cool.

Anytime this happens with you and your friends, just fucking make contact (FIST SLAPS HAND) - you wouldn't believe how exponentially less awkward it becomes

I've literally been doing this handshake for years. We call it "Flupping" or getting "Flupped". Flup coming from "FLP" or Far Left Pedal... meaning clutch. Our Flip Cup team's name was Flup Norris... and that was the handshake.

We'd do it to people who didn't know it just to make them feel awkward, lol.
