oh my goodness its so funny to me when old people try to use colloquialisms outside of their generation! I saw my dad totally try to chest bump someone the other day…so painfully awkward.
Yes! So hilarious!
Hope your dad’s ok after that attempted chest bump.
hokay, so – what is a chest-bump? (I know “fist bump”, but “chest bump”? Sounds as if only the very flexible and strong could manage it without getting hurt)
Oh please tell me this is not just an American Thing ’cause that would just be Embarrassing.
Anyway, here’s how: two dudes in a celebratory mood leap directly at each other, with their arms back or out to the sides, and bump chests in the air. Kinda like a high-five. But with your chest.
Ladies do not chest bump for obvious reasons.
Ah, thanks.
So, it is done offstage, too?
Some of the young men I teach have included this in a choreography, but I did not know it was done in “real life” as well.
