THE FIST BUMP HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD

Time magazine provides a brief history of the “Fist Bump” Barack and Michelle Obama brought back into style the night he became the democratic Presidential Nominee.

Even the terminology used to describe the manual move is under dispute. On reporting Obama’s speech, The New York Times described it stuffily as a “closed-fisted high-five” while Human Events racily suggested it was closer to “Hezbollah-style fist-jabbing,” (the phrase was later removed from the article). One Internet poster even referred to it as “the fist bump of hope.” Other terms for the move include “power five,” “fist pound,” “knuckle bump,” “Quarter Pounder” and “dap.”
