Fist Bupkis

An awkward unconsummated fist bump.

Person A goes in with a fist bump. Person B goes in with a handshake.
Both thinking they have done the wrong thing, and reverse their plan.
Now Person A goes in with a handshake, and Person B goes in with a fist bump.
At this point, both are feeling awkward and give up on the whole thing.

“Yeah, it was a bit awkward. When the interview started, the nerdy manager was trying a little too hard and went for the fist bump. Ended in fist bupkis, and it went downhill from there.”

bupkes

Yiddish for "beans", or figuratively "nothing, nada, zilch". Can also be an offer so low as to be an insult, and as Leo Rosten noted in his classic "The Joy of Yiddish," "bupkes" is a howl of outrage often heard in the cutthroat world of show business.

"I should have got at least ten bucks but i got BUPKES!!"

Nothing. Usally used to answer a question given by a friend. Can mean none too. Great for conversations with people who you want to confuse. Never explain the meaning to parents. Just dont.
