is, I have discovered, the neat term
applied to important public handshakes,
and not to the 'genital grab'
practised by some societies - men to men
and women to women - and, like the handshake,
signifying friendliness.
Kids quite like it,
but not hysterical American mommas
who would, of course, associate it with
a sinister kind of fake friendliness,
or with President and Commander-in-Chief Trump.
Nor is it the same anthropological phenomenon as
the grabbing of one's own crotch to ward off bad luck.
