The Fist Bump: America's Handshake

Presidential Candidate Barack Obama bumped his wife when he accepted the DNC nomination. If you haven't mastered the bump, here's what you need to know.


Step 1:

Regional Bumps

Historians have traced the bump back 100 years to four unique regions:

1. The West Coast Bump
2. The Midwest Bump
3. The Northeast Bump
4. The Miami Bump

Step 2:

Master Bumper

Impress your friends with these lesser-known bumps:

1. The Wild Turkey Bump
2. The Pop It, Lock It, and Put It In Your Pocket Bump
3. The Bump and Thump
4. The Safe Bump

Step 3:

Dos & Don'ts

Pay attention to the following rules when bumping:

1. Do make sure to be of equal height when bumping
2. Don't bump at inappropriate times
3. Don't overindulge the bump

Show your true colors. Bump like an American.

Used when you don't know where someone's hand has been, but you feel obligated to shake there hand regardless. It is truly an insult.Go USA.
