Greet and Retreat

The act of sending a greeting, often "hey" or "hi" in a chat server or similar online discussion board, but especially in a Discord server, and then offering no further conversation such that a series of greetings accumulates but no actual discourse.

Anon: The servers dead, nothing but Greet and Retreat for the last week.

Burris Greeting

A Burris Greeting is very similar to the "Burris wave" its the act of flipping a friend off as a joke or for fun when the teacher is not looking. Not meant to be a mean gesture. Can be used when a student makes a stupid comment or makes a joke about you and you don't have time for a comeback.

student 1: (knocks student 2's stuff)
student 2: why did you do that?!
student 1: your mom forgot to pay me
student 2: ,,|,, (or Burris greeting)

Text: ,,|,, or ,,|,, (*_*) ,,|,,

golden greeting

an extra sum of money paid to a competent person who has been lured away from his/her organization into one's organization. Such an amount is paid initially, for instance at the time of signing a contract and is over and above the regular remuneration package.

We were able to woo the CEO of our rival company into our company by offering him a handsome golden greeting.

triple-f greeting

Stands for "Fake Fist-Fight" greeting, and denotes the playful-macho act of two best buds joyfully saying hello by grinningly taking a few wild swings at each other, but of course never having any of the flailing punches actually "land"; both greeters purposely "swing wide" so that they safely miss each other every time.

An alternative to the triple-f greeting --- often practiced by sturdy-figured tomboys --- is to take huge "sweeping" kicks in each other's directions, while simultaneously trying not to topple over backwards themselves. Both of these actions may seem fun and "free-spirited", but there is always a definite risk of real injury with them; I prefer simple hugs and handshakes myself.
