The typical handshake/greeting when two guys or "bros" are cool with each other meet. It can be spontaneous and is not limited to only old friends but also possible new bros whom are perceived as to being cool with.

The most generic Bro Shake consists of a mutual hand-grab, then a back-pat and usually ending with a fist pound.

Variations are usually created and if the two bros are very good friends, they may have a more intricate Bro Shake.
Example 1:
Bob: "Holy shit, is that you Sam?"

*Bro Shake Initiated*
Sam: "I haven't seen you since you piled that chick in college Bob!"

Example 2:
*Doorbell*
*Door Opens*
Hugh Hefner: "Welcome to the Playboy Mansion boys, the ladies are a plenty."
*Bros walking in, each Bro Shake/ing Hugh*
Stranger 1: Thanks Hugh!

A pact made within a group of bros. There are a few different occasions in which a Bro-Shake can be used:

-To verify and/or validate a vocal statement
-To solidify a dare of sorts
-To make a bet

If the bro shake is broken, the offending bro is therefore assigned a single Bro-Merit.

See Bro-Merit.
Bro 1: Hey bro, Stacy and I got it on last night; it was awesome!
Bro 2: Orly? Bro-Shake on it?
Bro 1: ... Oh alright, I actually just watched Stacy from her front yard...

Bro 1: Hey, that roof looks low enough to jump off of.
Bro 2: I dare you to.
Bro 1: Oh, yeah, I will.
Bro 2: Bro-Shake on it?
Bro 1: Aw man... naw...

Bro 2: I'll give you 50 G's if you bang Stacy tonight.
Bro 1: Oh hell yeah! Bro-Shake on it?
Bro 2: Yeah, because it's never happening.
Bro 1: Yeah...

Example of misuse of the Bro-Shake:

Bro 1: Dude. I had sex with Stacy last night.

Bro 2: Really? Do you Bro-Shake?
Bro 1: Yeah. I do. *Bro-Shake*
~5 minutes later~
Bro 2 (To Stacy): Hey, I heard you and Bro 1 got it on last night.
Stacy: Ew no gross. Never.

*Bro 1 is then assigned a Bro-Merit*
