Jiveshake 

Similar to a hanshake except instead of grabbing the whole hand, the participants grab onto the base of the thumb.

Originates from mid 80's black hip-hop culture but is now an accepted greeting among all brothas

Variations include bending the fingers after release, snapping ones fingers or even a fist pound in some cases.
Since I have a diverse group of friends, I often have to switch from the handshake to the jiveshake.

Jives with my graph 

Something you say when something is cool or awesome
Brian: Bro, have you seen Uncle Gavin's new shirt? That really jives with my graph.
Gavin: What are you doing in my house?
This name has only ever been found in an ancient Sumerian clay tablet, or at least we think it was this. Quite a bit of blood had congealed on the tablet, and it looked like someone had tried to burn it. Mind you, the blood would normally be quite unsightly in and of itself but some poor bugger seemed to have been tied to an obsidian sacrificial stone with the tablet on his chest, and we only found this stone in a sealed chamber. Current translations of the plaque on the chamber range from "Here lies the name of that being who shall be glorious beyond measure, but be careful for the glory of the name may be too much for the beholder." to "Your wife is a big respectful hippo whose dung-beetles may rule with ever-lasting flatulence", depending on subjective opinions of slight accents on the script. Personally, I find the second one rather doubtful if only because my wife isn't particularly big relative to the population mean (although in America, that's not saying much)."
1. Jivesh. Incidentally, I own a pretty upscale drug farm and we'll have a discount ready for you!
2. Jivesh. AAARRGRGRHRHGRHRH!! the second phrase has been postulated to mean "I would like to eat your foot!"

(see Pratchett, 1994) and "Wonderful weather we're having!", although only the Welsh seem to interpret it the second way
