When performing a Golden Handshake (definition on this site), one pretends to accidentally overshoot the forearms, faking apologies the whole time, but continuing to soak the would-be business partner's torso and legs in piss until one's bladder is completely emptied (excusing it all with "once I start I can't stop--it burns"). This technique is often used as a subtle form of mockery of the would-be business deal, or a way to express doubts of the profitability of the alliance.
Eager to seal the deal, Henry agreed to the Golden Handshake but was somewhat hurt when John surprised him with the Golden Overshot.
1. To spend so long in the shower that you have to modify or skip other things you do to get ready for work, school, etc (akin to oversleeping). Signs of this in others include wet hair, mismatched clothing, and/or lack of make-up;

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
