I hate when I almost miss the high-five that’s offered. Not an all-the-way miss… just bad aim so my palm hits kinda offside, so you get more of a “thunk” than a nice slap.
And forget about the complicated high-five maneuver. If I’m having problems with the simple palm slap, the finger wavying, two-handed and maybe an ankle thingy is way beyond my capabilities.
I call it the “Terrorist Fist” bump because goppers tried to accuse Obama and Michelle of secretly transmitting their fealty to terrorists with their post primary celebratory gesture. I make sure people know we’re doing it in front of a CCTV so as to add us to the super-duper secret watch list (bonus points for adding the “explosion” after the fist bump – I also like the one I learned on the Marc Maron show – i.e. “squid it.”)
My brother and I have made all manner of five-ing into an art. We have various combo greetings, have incorporated high, low and mid-foot contact, and even have our own hand logo we bring in sometimes.
The fist bump is a couple of centuries old. It seems to have started with cavalry soldiers shortly have the hand shake evolved. They couldn’t shake hands easily because of the heavy riding gloves so the bumped fist instead.
I think the main “down low, too slow” proponent is either John Connor or the Terminator. I don’t think the crocs would mess with those guys…
Fist bumb is the best thing that happened when it comes to greeting technology since cavemen stop banging heads when they bumped at each other!
“Woo Sports team do good thing!”
^That’s me watching sports.

Hey, I started doing the terrorist fist bump as soon as I heard it was a thing as well! My friends and I have all the fun!
Of course, I also use the public library, I’m not on Facebook and I frequent a nerd bar. Believe you me, the FBI has me in their sights…
You are a true patriot, Leshka. I salute you. The only way it seems to break through the ridiculousness of it, is to overwhelm the system.
I am Spartacus!

Reminded me of this. They even high five!
Egads! I’ve been made a fool!
Awesome line, Adam.
I thought the same thing. I think I just found a new personal tag line…

How about a hand for that last panel, folks… too soon?
