[brettthejett]

Excuse me, brothers of NT.
Please explain your uninformed white brother what exactly a "dap" is and how I can look cool doing it?

Dap is just shaking hands the non-suit-and-tie way. We just call it "shaking" or "shaking up". It's a billion differentvariations and I've even had to fake the funk and act like i knew a handshake that I didn't. That's always awkward. I be like, "Fammo, youknow damn well I ain't grow up twisting my fingers with ya'll. How you gon' spring the club house shake on me like that?!" So confusionshappens to even the most non-white of us

. No biggie my Caucasian brethren from another.... mothren?

In elementary I had a secret handshake with this girl I liked.

Same idea?


Actually on a serious note I love doing the 'dap' demonstrated on the first page. I feel like Larry David

6) In a firm yet friendly voice, utter the urban respect greeting. ('Whats up/good(with you)/goin on/poppin/craccin, my dude/son/G/*brotha*)

Except for when I'm sick, then it's the

fist bump
or the forearm bump.

In HS/ early college, the dap of choice was the Hi-Five.

We had the neighborhood shake too. But that was too elaborate.

5) Draw greetee in for one arm hetero-hug. This must not last over 7 seconds.
6) In a firm yet friendly voice, utter the urban respect greeting. ('Whats up/good(with you)/goin on/poppin/craccin, my dude/son/G/*brotha*)
7) Release hetero-hug, slide hands away from each other, while ensuring 2 lightly clasp each other's fingertips on the way out. This serves as a note 2 let both parties know the dapping process has come 2 an end.
Complete!

Course, if you dont know the greetee like that, steps 5-7 may be omitted.

did the play by play like this is a cowboys game.

You give dap like normal, but right before you pull your hands apart/away you point your index finger.

i do the three time hand slap dap with the inner circle tho. why? idk either. it just stuck since childhood.

 

[flyny]

 

[realxfresh]

the standard "hug" dap.

 

[chewtoy112]

Just regular daps for me, and if I'm extra cool with the person, its followed by a pound.

i hated when someone would give me one of these...id be confused in the transition when they do an unexpected point and im tryna figure out if itstoo late to point

.

but i usually just stick with the "inter locking thumb with the slide and 4 finger clasp" dap ...anything else with someone you not that cool with isuncivilized...

Never understood why dudes be doin that...like the "You killedme in 2K9 AND I was the Cavs GG" handshake.

 

[incredibleev]

Do any of you snap your fingers after? I swear to god if you snap your fingers after a dap in NY you will get laughed at. Always hated that.

 

[pcbyrdgang51bix]

regular dap, but i hate when son's hand is all sweaty and %%#%

 

[freezetag]

Basic


But the funny thing is, when I went out West to visit...dudes were doing the regular dap and then bump knuckles.

 

[potus2028]

I snap sumtimes...what of it?

 

[arrjae]

thumb sticking up....
like good job!

 

[forty 1]

WOW, wth...it took me all the way down page 1 to get that this post was about a handshake/greeting.
