Stems from the uncertainty of whether a friend or acquaintence is going to greet you with a dap (first pound), or slap (hand slap), at the beginning or end of an encounter. This could get extremley awkward, as a situation may arise where Person A is preparing for a Dap and Person B is preparing for a slap. This causes each party to change hand positions. The split second before a greeting or goodbye, Person 1 may prepare to greet Person 2 with an open first, while Person 2 prepares to greet Person 1 with a closed fist. Instead of just one person switching positions to allow for an agreeable handshake, each person switchs, and the cycle continues. The longer it goes on, the more awkward it is.
"Dude, I saw Jim at the bar tonight and we fell victim to The Dap-Slap Dilemma". It lasted for about 2 minutes. It was SO AWKWARD!"
The Dap Slap Dilemma necessitates the need to call out what type of handshake you are going to perform before you greet or say goodbye to someone.

An unspoken greeting performed or done by fist bumping, tapping, or hitting. Usually only by tapping light. Sometimes a person is agressive n hits the other fist hard. It's usually only spoken if the other person is unaware or if a person confronts the other about not doing it or being left hanging with a fist in the air... . Can also be used to agree about something such as a titty flash, upskirt, payback/revenge/karma, or getting high etc.... .
I was looking out for you bro, *dapped*, that's right bro you better dap me up.
Speaker knockers has a song that's titled "dap you up"!

A motion in which 2 males lightly dap up eachothers genitalia in order mentally and physically be intimately, and egregiously connected. The dap up of all dap ups of bros.

Dude two: “shiiiiiii”

Holding your hand out for a “dap” to your boy who is in close proximity, after saying a joke or roast you believe is funny, in order to confirm they are in agreement or on your side
Jordan: Yo max you are gay for wanting to suck off Mahomes
Max: Not according to my track record
*Max sticks his hand very close to Harris in order to receive a confirmation dap*
