(not-so) secret Wellingtonista handshake

Okay, here it is.
So, you start with your hand in the 'W for Wellington' shape. Connect with your partner following the Welly footpath rule of staying left (ie. your leftmost finger should be on the outside of their rightmost finger). The join should be made up to the middle knuckle. Then (the coup-de-grace!) curl the ends of your fingers over. You're now making a symbolic representation of the hilly Wellington landscape. Slide the fingers apart (symbolic representation of a catastrophic earthquake, if you're so inclined), and you're done.
So cool.
Awesome! I am so doing this tonight.
Jeez, how are we to remain cool and aloof if everyone knows our secret (and complicated) handshake.
this is just the 'easy' version. True Wellingtonistas will be taught the more intricate version at a later date.
actually, your "lower case w snap handshake" was the bomb. that's the real secret handshake.
Hahahaha you guys have gone nuts since I left town.
I think we should make a kind of "meep" sound as we do it, to represent the wildlife at the Karori Sanctuary...
yes!
The person on the right only has 3 fingers & a thumb... do some of us have to lose some?
no, but, as you've spotted, it is a handicapped-friendly greeting.
It's like the Yakuza.
Secret handshakes, missing digits...now we just to get some (more) cool tattoos.
And some of those cool swords...
it's not much different from the NZSL sign for wellington.. which is the three fingers of W, then wave it in the wind a bit while moving slightly downwards
