Multiple handshakes.

I think there needs to be a universal handshake that needs to be agreed upon.
Last week I went through the most awkward of moments with the greeting.
I went for a standard handshake and then someone greeted me with the pound (no battle rap).
Maybe my handshake terminology is a little off. Like I used to call what is now
regarded as fist bump a pound. Now some regard what you call I call “hood handshake”,
the more informal way of grasping hands sometimes connected with a half hug as a pound.

There’s so many slight variations, there might have to be a facial signal to accompany it.
There has been many a time i go for the “Informal grasph” Oh wait someone just put me on as
I’m typing this. When you do the hand grasp it’s a pound and a fist bump is a dap. So from this
point forward I will be using these terms.

There has been times where someone says hello and then they go for a (dap)fist bump. That’s cool I guess,
but I think that the dap should be only used for goodbyes. THe only exception I see for this would be
the multiple greetings (such as giving multiple daps when you see people at the barbershop). When
someone goes for a fist bump hello and I’m going for the pound I purposefully just make an awkward situation worse
by palming their fist like a basketball.

So my proposal is a wink.

You wink once for a dap two times for a pound. You already looking at someone’s face anyway so it works out.
The only problem is when someone gives you a dap/pound and looks away as they are giving it. I get into
“Barzini meeting watch for the traitors” mode when that happens. I feel as if someone looks away when
they greet you, you gotta keep an eye on them.

But anyway to wrap it up. One wink dap two times pound.
