a part of your hand which most people dont know is a much better substitute for a fist when your hitting something. The reasons for this is because an open hand is more relaxed and is thus more powerful. It is also safer because the skin on your knuckles can split easily. You also have a smaller chance to break your fingers.

A handheld device, or PDA/personal digital assistant, running Palm OS and manufactured by Palm Computing. They are used to "organize" through things like To-Do lists and a Contacts database, but also support games, Word documents, and more.
Note: These are not the same as a "PalmPilot." PalmPilots were one of the first (pilot) versions of the Palm. Modern Palms have names like Palm T|X or Tungsten E2.

(N.): Long reed-like structures held at Mass on Palm Sunday in anticipation of the Post-Easter Season (Ordinary Time), then later converted into whips to beat children and siblings with, and then burned to make ashes for Ash Wednesday, and placed on our foreheads to remind us that it is only 40 more days till the palm process will begin anew.
I was so psyched to go to Mass last Sunday cuz now i got this cool palm to beat my brother with if he ever touches my stuff.

v.tr.
To knowingly ignore or disregard. Most often used as 'palmed' as in 'You just got palmed.' (referencing the 'Talk to the hand because the face ain't listening' gesture, in which the palm of the hand is pointed towards the speaker)
The embarrassment factor of being palmed is similar to that of being owned.
