The rare awkward moment between two male acquaintances or friends when the parting gesture (handshake, fist bump, or bro hug) gets fumbled. This occurs most often either when one goes in for a bro hug and the other wants to shake hands, or when one goes for the traditional handshake and the other goes for some version of the urban handshake. The awkwardness usually lingers until your next parting, at which time you both slightly overcompensate for the previous confusion by first, deciding what form your parting will take, and second, executing it with decidedly more gusto than usual.
We totally botched our handshake last time.
Tots, brah, that was as ugly a braux pas as you're gonna see.
This time, it's a handshake, OK?
Sounds good. I was feeling a little weird about it, too.

The scenic and historic capital of PA, formerly known for a high crime rate, but recently experiencing a cultural renaissance, particularly in Midtown, home of Book Row and the Midtown Theater, as well as the Historic District and Cheap Date jazz Tuesdays.
The Capitol District, Shipoke District, and Midtown offer some of PA's finest architecture. The Capitol building is worth a trip from anywhere; it is a fine example of neoclassical stylism combined with Baroque and renaissance revival elements.
Downtown looks like a miniature version of Chicago or Philly, with an impressive skyline for only having 50,000 residents. Harrisburg features fine dining, good and diverse bars, casual restaurants, three hookah bars, and a beautiful river walk.
City Island, Harrisburg's Navy Pier, is the "Playground for the Whole Family" while the cities host of museums and festivals will keep a visitor of any taste busy.
The biggest little metropolis in the US.

Mayor of an up-and-coming town, somewhere outside of Central PA: "Welcome to our fair city. We are currently growing and improving, so many people have referred to us as another Harrisburg, PA."

Get the Pa-Chinky mug.
A boring little town with a gas station run by foreigners, a post office, fire house, 2 antique stores, an art museum in an old school and 2 churches. That's it. The most fun you can have in Springville is cow tipping and watching the grass grow. By 8 pm, everything is closed, and it becomes a ghost town. Oh, and be sure to drink the water, it guarantees eternal youth.
