yaoi hands

In yaoi manga or anime where a guys hands are bigger than anything should ever be. Including, but not limited to, bigger than someone's head, someone's chest, someone's entire fucking body, etc. You get the point.

Just look up yaoi hands on google images, you'll see what I'm talking about. They're fucking huge.

Throw hands

When you knuckle-up and start swinging with the intention of beating a motherfucka down.

Keep running your mouth and I'm about to throw hands!

Shawinigan Handshake

Shawinigan Handshake is the epithet given to a chokehold executed on February 15, 1996 by Jean Chrétien, then Prime Minister of Canada, on anti-poverty protester Bill Clennett. The phrase comes from Chrétien's birthplace of Shawinigan, Quebec, as the former prime minister often styled himself the "little guy from Shawinigan".

"Yesterday I won the fucking lottery so I shat on my bosses desk then gave him the Shawinigan Handshake."

"Margret is soooooo annoying during meetings. Sometimes I just want to give her the ole' Shawinigan Handshake."

Algonquian Handshake

A term used in international politics, often by western diplomats, to threaten the use of Tomahawk missiles as a response to an adversary.

If Bashar Al-Assad uses chemical weapons against civilians again, we'll give him another big ole Algonquian handshake.

Houston Handshake

A form of assault where two or more assailants who have just eaten a lot of Tex-Mex pin a victim to the ground and take turns farting in said victim's face.

Nothing says hospitality like a good ol' Houston Handshake!
