Golf clap

|
A golf clap is a quiet form of clapping performed by lightly and rapidly clapping the fingers of one hand against the palm of the other. It is patterned after the sound of distant clapping heard during televised golf tournaments (during a golf tournament, a golf clap is an audience's normal show of appreciation via clapping, but done quietly to not disturb people golfing at other nearby fairways, hence the intentionally subdued sound level). The "golf clap" may also be employed as a sarcastic form of applause, used to show indifference or disdain, just as the may be used. The "golf clap" also seems to be used in increasing instances to be a humorous (rather than sarcastic) substitute for mere applause. The term "golf clap" was popularized by the movie . It has gained popular use on online forums such as fark.com. |
