horizontal handshake

A.k.a. "moocher's greeting" or "glad-handout"; it refers to where one of your "friends" beamingly approaches you with extended arm as if to greet you with a hearty palm-clasp, but instead of positioning his hand vertically the way one usually does when shaking hands, he holds his outstretched palm **upwards** so that his hand is horizontal --- this "gimme, gimme, gimme" position is how his hand is usually held whenever he is around fellow humans (duh!).

I always feel suspicious whenever someone greets me with a horizontal handshake, since it is a good indication that he is planning to ask me for a handout.

Emergency Handshake

A mediocre dodgeball team comprised of approximately eight individuals who, although are all very impressive individually, stand very little chance in winning anything as a group.

"Did you guys see Emergency Handshake yesterday?"
"Naw, who would want to watch a bunch of amateurs?"

1-2-3 handshake

A super-pleasant activity --- usually performed as a playful farewell gesture --- whereby you smilingly extend one hand at a time to the other person, then firmly bob both his hands up and down once.

The 1-2-3 handshake is most often administered by a mushy-hearted guy to a pretty girl whom he's met for the first time; it's a way of showing that he really enjoyed the "sit together awhile and chat" session that she shared with him, and hopes that they can continue their friendship for the foreseeable future.
