Silly me!!! I thought the fist bump was just something replacing the high five.
You know opening the entire hand is soooooo exhausting and all!!!

So did I. Every day I discover that there's so much I don't know.

You guys don't actually believe Richard's explanation of the fist pound do you?

With Richard, I never know what to believe!!!!

Been watching the news again. I really need to stop that. It's so bad for my blood pressure. I can't understand why it's so hard for congress to grasp the fact that we need to drill for oil here and we need to look for alternative sources too. Ok, so if it takes 5 years or more to get the oil we'd better get off our behinds and start NOW!!! What would we do if our forgeign oil suppliers decide to cut the supply off for some reason?

Why not, would Richard lie to us? He did say it is a form of "street talk" and I don't think either one of us is savvy in that area.

Come out and spend a week in da hood, ya know what I'm saying?
Any of you homies want to come out to the East Side and roll with the Rickster?

LOL, that sounded really stupid!


Seriously, I worked with a guy that had quite a few sales reps in to our office.
If a good looking woman came in he'd look over at me and do the 'fist pump' as a little sign of "female appreciation"!

When loading the gun in a tank, the loaders take the round, place it in the breech and use their fists to ram/seat it before the breech is closed.

"Ramming it home".

If anyone noticed the price of oil went down a few cents after the hated GWB announced that he'd lift the ban on drilling in the Gulf.

But good old NP will do her best to keep us all down. MORON.

Interesting but totally wrong.

The stock market DID take a huge plunge -- closing at its lowest in two years -- and it was even lower earlier -- plunging afer GWB's pep talk on the economy this morning.

Here's the reason for the drop in oil prices (and it was dollars -- not a few cents...)

But crude oil abruptly fell under $138 a barrel on worries that a slowing U.S. economy would sharply curtail demand for gasoline. A similar concern was raised in a new forecast from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Just about as accurate as your explanation of the fist bump....

I see you are signing your post with a new name!

I have more street cred in my fist pump than what you think a fist bump is.

Come out and roll with the gals in my hood. You have to learn how to drink outta a 40-or you have to go home.


That's my gang name.

Oh Richard. The stuff you come up with.


The fist bump (pound,DAP) is just a informal form of greeting used instead
of the more formal(openhanded) handshake. It's not even a Black thing.
It's been used for years.

Because I know that no one on PT is "hood" or has street cred let me explain the other meaning of the fist bump.

On it's own, when one person makes that motion, it's an crude street signal meaning "procreation".

The FB is some kind of 'cool' greeting that you see on street corners and places where there is no formality.

I then went on to explain the 'Loading the cannon/howitzer/gun' motion, one half of the FB and how that can be construed as a crude reference to sex.
For the years that I have been a Mexican I have never seen anyone in my hood do the bump. Maybe the "one potato, two potato" vertical fist slam, but not the "head on" bump.

THis and the stupid gang sign schtik I know. I can do Black and Mexican.
Russian and Vietnamese gangs are more problematic.

I don't know their alphabets.

I can read graffti too!

I took a sex ed class with my then GF. It wasn't a toy party or some stupid private teaching seminar.


I got some real college credits for it. It was one of the best classes that I ever took, not so much for the material, but for the way it was presented. The worst part of the class were the just out-of-high-school retards that thought everything was funny. They laughed at the trannys that came in, the gynecologist that passed out IUDs, diagphrams and condoms, the S&M gal-she was a hot redhead with blue eyes-I didn't laugh at her, she'd kick my arse....

I learned enough and probably more than I wanted to. If you go back in history and know the 'power' behind the hand, why the handshake came about, the symbolic meaning of a fist,
what it "means" in sex ed class you'll slap your head.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I guess that means the man is this photo is a homie who wants to have sex?

How can you believe you know about the personal lives of all PT people?
We may all live in "hoods" & do our own knuckle bumps all the time.

I think you are confusing the one person motion with a Italian hand
& fist gesture that displays contempt, among other things.
