The Pound

The other day, when Obama won the nomination, he touched fists with his wife in a gesture that's similar (but cooler) than the old high-five. Some people in the media (Fox news) called this a "terrorist fist jab" and then had to apologize when they realized what most people know: that the "pound" is gesture congratulations. I even do it with parishioners sometimes!



I love it.

Terrorist fist jab? Do FOX pundits never watch NBA basketball?

Apparently not.

Notice he also gives her a little pat on the behind, but no one seems to have commented on THAT gesture.

Amongst my set, this is known as "giving props." I am far too uptight (and whitebread) to be able to pull it off, and have only done it once: while drunk, to a colleague upon whom I had the hots.
