The authentic version of the now Americanized dab. It was first used during the late 30's of the 20th century in Germany to greet their leader or any other (political) superior. During the early 40's the use of the European dab spread across Europe, hence its name being European dab and not German dab.
Since then it has been and still is being used by people who keep believing in those political ideologies which are considered far-right.

The dab is performed by holding the left arm down next to the body and stretching out the right arm straight forward and up at an angle of 40°-45° and completely opening the hand palm down but keeping the fingers against each other.
It is most often accompanied by a loud formal greeting of the original conceiver of the ideology.
That streamer made his pug do a European dab and got sued for it.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s
