The rmh (reverse mental hug) is a non-contact way of fulfilling the expression of affection demonstrated in a normal hug. It occurs as follows:
1. Fingers are interlaced with palms facing outwards and elbows at 80 degree angle
2. Arms are extended completely straight, palms directed toward receiver of hug
3. The words "reverse mental hug" are proclaimed
There are also group reverse mental hugs in which a circle is formed and all huggers interlace arms
Additionally, upon the smacking of palms, a reverse mental hug is turned into a reverse mental high five
