Shake Tramping 

It is a type of dancing that was created by the amazing Vancouver, B.C. rock band: Marianas Trench. They created a song called "Shake Tramp", which got them super famous in Canada. The song was on their first album, made in 2006: Fix Me (Their EP album before this was Say Anything).

However, Shake Tramping is where you perform a pathetic dance down a really crowded street and have people stare at you as you look like a fool. And by "dance", I mean you wear a suit with a fancy fedora, waver your body all about, and screech on the top of your lungs, as in the video. It was probably the most clever thing ever invented by them.

Josh Ramsay, Matt Webb, Mike Ayley, and Ian Casselman are the band members of Marianas Trench. You should look up their video for Shake Tramping on Youtube to see how they do it.
1st Person: "Hey, let's go Shake Tramping down the street; I hear it's really crowded, bro!"

2nd Person: "Okay! But wait, let me grab my suit that matches the wall and my awesome fedora."

shaketramp 

i once described a shaketramp to a friend of mine,
when he asked.
and this is the evidence i gave him.

Handshake hand-sheyk
1.a gripping and shaking of right hands by two individuals, as to symbolize greeting, congratulation, agreement, or farewell.
2.Computer Science An exchange of signals between two devices when communications begin in order to ensure synchronization.
Tramp (trâmp)
1. a disreputable vagrant; "a homeless tramp"; "he tried to help the really down-and-out bums"
2. a person who engages freely in promiscuous sex syn: swinger
3. a foot traveler; someone who goes on an extended walk (for pleasure) syn: hiker

so, by seriously (ahahahah) looking at this, over and over.
and choosing the most fitting response, based on the song (teehee:D)

i came to the conclusion.
that a shaketramp (sheyk-trâmp)
is a greeting slut.(im allowed to say that, this is a definition. lol)

that would explain why she gets slapped in the face in the music video ,eh?
shaketramp:
one name.
starts with a b
ends with an e.
