What does this mean?
As of late, I have encountered a new hug. It is done by two men. They
shake hands, and one or both pulls the other person forward and taps their right shoulders together, with a pat on the back with the left hand. Is this symbolic of anything or any group? I have never seen it before about three months ago. One of those transitory, but non secret society handshakes that have come and gone? Steve |
