Funny handshakes

Someone shakes your hand with their little finger cocked. I used to think that was just my Irish friends pretending to be guerrillas, but a little woman from India just shook my hand the same way. What does it mean? Googling reveals nothing.


Or is it a secret?

    whats the Masons handshake then? it has something to with little cocked fingers... did you shake hands with Jeremy Beadle? ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Try shaking someone's hand while keeping your thumb flush with the index finger (so that it doesn't interlock with your shaking partner's thumb). Hilarity will ensue!

    It means she wants Kama Sutra with you on the bottom...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    It means someone has hurt their hand in a meatpaw of death grip. And they have learned to cock their pinkie in an attempt at not getting a painful squeeze.

    I once found out my history teacher was a freemason so we looked up the handshake online. My friend then greeted it with him. He looked so confused. He studied us closely for a while and was just like "where did you learn that" :D
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Thats funny I am trying that.

    Reach in to shake hands with your left hand. That will fuck some people up as well, especially if they put their right hand out first.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    I prefer the Milli Vanilli chest bump myself...

    Seriously though, I realized I gave a very weak handshake to a new female coworker the other day. I guess I'm always afraid to squeeze a woman's hand too hard.

    Ladies - is it proper to give you a firm handshake like I would a man? I don't know the answer to this!
