You know, there’s somethin’ that’s been buzzin’ around on that TikTok lately. It’s them handshakes, you see. The young folks been makin’ all kinds of videos about it. I tell ya, it’s not like the regular ol’ handshake we used to do when we met someone or when we were celebratin’ somethin’. No, no, these handshakes are somethin’ else. They’ve got styles, they’ve got moves, and folks from all over the world are joinin’ in. It’s like a little dance, but with your hands!
Now, I ain’t sure if you’ve seen it, but these TikTok handshakes, they’re all the rage. There’s a whole bunch of videos on there, folks doin’ handshakes that twist and turn, some of ‘em even have extra little secret moves tucked inside. And, lemme tell ya, they got more than 300 million posts about it. Yup, 341.7 million, to be exact! It’s like a big ol’ celebration of all kinds of fancy hand gestures. Some handshakes are just for couples, some are just for friends, and some are so fancy you might feel like you need a partner to do it with!
So, why’s everybody doin’ it?
I reckon it’s ’cause folks love to stand out, right? When you get on TikTok, you wanna show off somethin’ new, somethin’ nobody else is doin’. It’s all about creatin’ your own little trend, and them handshakes are a big way of doin’ that. You get to make your own move, make it your own little signature. And let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good ol’ handshake to make a connection with someone? I mean, that’s how we show respect and trust, right? Now, they’ve just taken it up a notch, makin’ it all fun and creative.
Where do they come from?
But these handshakes ain’t just for the kids and the TikTok stars. No sir. Even older folks like us could get in on the fun. It ain’t about how fancy your hands are, it’s about the connection you make with another person. In a way, it’s like a little game, a way to greet folks and share a moment. Sure, maybe you ain’t got all the moves figured out, but you can still do your own thing. And ain’t that what life’s about? Doin’ what feels right to you!
What’s so special about ’em?
Well, I reckon what makes ’em special is the creativity. You can add all sorts of little twists and turns, and no two handshakes are the same. Some folks got the ‘countdown girl’ handshake, where you count down with your fingers and then do a special move. Others got the ‘staring contest’ handshake where you try to make each other laugh or break eye contact before you finish the shake. It’s about the fun and the creativity, makin’ it your own!
How do you do ’em right?
Now, if you’re gonna do a handshake on TikTok or in real life, there’s a few things you gotta keep in mind. First off, you gotta make a solid connection. Don’t go half-way, alright? Don’t just stick your hand out there and leave it hangin’. You gotta grip, but don’t overdo it either. It’s all about the right pressure, just enough to show respect, but not too much to hurt someone’s hand.
And when you’re doin’ these fancy handshakes, you gotta pay attention to the timing. You know, some folks will start slow, then suddenly speed up or spin around or something wild like that. You can’t be rushin’ through it, you gotta get the timing right, or it’ll just look awkward!
Is it just for the young ones?
Now, I know what you’re thinkin’—this TikTok stuff is all for the young ones, right? But, nah, not at all. Anyone can join in. Heck, I’ve seen folks of all ages get in on the fun, even some older people showing off their own little handshakes. You don’t have to be a TikTok star to make a good handshake. Just be yourself and have fun with it. You don’t have to be perfect, just give it a try and see what happens!
But let me tell ya, if you want to make your handshake pop, you might want to practice a bit. Maybe get yourself a partner to practice with. You know, a friend or a family member. Just make sure you’re comfortable, and the handshake flows nice and smooth. You don’t want to be all stiff and awkward when you do it, right?
What’s the deal with the right hand?
Now, I’ve noticed that most folks, especially on TikTok, use their right hand for these handshakes. I reckon that’s ’cause the right hand’s the dominant one for most people. That’s the one you reach out with first when you meet someone. It’s funny how that little thing works out, isn’t it? Almost everybody does it without even thinkin’ about it!
So, whether you’re just doin’ a regular handshake or spicin’ it up for a TikTok video, remember that it’s about makin’ that connection. It’s about showing respect and having a bit of fun while you’re at it. And if you can come up with your own little twist, you’ll be makin’ memories and maybe even startin’ your own little trend. Ain’t that somethin’?
