Hand Hug

Description
The hand hug is performed by the three following steps:
1. Put your hands in a high five motion
2. Touch hands as if to high five, but place palms together.
3. Wrap thumb around opposite hand. *
* To ensure this is done properly, both persons will need to use the same hand (both left or both right).
Tri-Hand Hug
This is done similarly as the regular hand hug, except that it is done with three people.
The Insulting Hand Hug
If a person who you do not like attempts to Hand Hug you, you can simply put up a conflicting hand (they put left, you put right and vice versa). This is called the 'Clash of the Thumbs'.
The Creator of the Hand Hug
The hand hug was created by Arian Faurtosh. The exact date of creation as well as how it came to be is still disputed today. Many people think the hand hug was invented around 2003 but this has since been proven wrong as Hand Hugs were written about in books prior to this date.
Other sources speculate that the Hand Hug was created in the 1970s by a group of hippies.
Cultural Views
The Hand Hug may be seen by some cultures as a sign of jest and fellowship
National Hand Hug Day has been designated to be on December 11 of every year.
