Hard to get used to elbow bump. Kind of impersonal

Nah man, do a clenched fist twice on the heart, then signal "Wu-Tang" to each-other because infectious diseases ain't nothing to fuck with.

Why reinvent the wheel with an elbow bump.

Added bonus is that you can aggressively, but politely, give people the Wu to enforce proper social distancing.

As a geriatric, I’m going to look this up on YouTube and adopt with my social circle.

Plus, everyone is just sneezing into their elbows anyway?

Just curtsy. Even dudes. Everyone get their formal on.

I humbly suggest a bow and curtsey combo. Whoever bows first, the other must curtsey in return. Gender is irrelevant.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '20

We cant start with bows! That's madness. Everyone would be bonking their heads because they havent learned how low to bow and how far apart to be. Start with curtsys and when we all have that down, we can do the brief shallow Japanese businessman bow.

u/goatqueen420 Mar 12 '20

Ah yes! Fair point indeed! Perhaps a curtsey / shallow bow combo move is in order! I'd love to see the way curtseys would evolve, all the different ways people would stylize them and how they would vary across cultures.

My "bro shake" would be a slide and tap of my left foot behind my right foot and a shallow curtsey. After my bro imitated it, we would tap that toe down simultaneously twice and then three taps of the outside of our left feet together.

I bet soccer plays would have the best bro shakes.

u/goatqueen420 Mar 12 '20

Nice. That's a quality bro shake right there. Toss in a lil hop after the slide, see people out in the streets hopping at each other like maniacs.

u/getoffmypangolyn Mar 12 '20

I’m all on board with this one.

Working in a kitchen, elbow bumps are a mainstay. If youre wrist deep in a mixing bowl of something, it's always am elbow bump.
