A short shake is a type of handshake where one of the people involved grips the other persons fingers, preventing a proper handshake. The short shaker is seen as less of a man, and more often than not exhibits such traits as cold, sweaty, or clammy hands that resemble the touch and texture of a dead limp fish.
Joe: Dude, the new guy just short shaked me!
John: Yeah, he did that to me today too.
Joe: What a pussy!
John: Yeah, he did that to me today too.
Joe: What a pussy!

Get the Short Shake mug.A term of derision for a certain type of rock guitarist (usually a bassist) characterised by their use of a short strap.
They wear their instrument above the waist. You can probably see their belt because they almost certainly have their (black) t-shirt tucked into their (black) jeans.
Their favoured sound is crunchy and bright. Their playing style is technical, proficient and leaves little room for expression.
They may be playing a bass with more than 4 strings, or worse still a Chapman Stick (see wikipedia).
They may also have a pony tail. In fact, they probably do.
