Debbie Schlussel: Memo to Desperately-Trying-to-Look-Hip-But-Failing World: Gangsta "Greeting" Out


By Debbie Schlussel

Here's a tip. When a 78-year-old with not-so-early-onset-dementia and an angry bitch who's never before been proud of America do something, it's no longer hip. It's out. When the angry bitch who's never before been proud of America does it multiple times, it's just ugly.

Time to get rid of the fist-bump, or as FOX News Channel's E.D. Hill calls it, "the terrorist fist jab." Either way when these people do it, it ain't cool (not that it ever was). Oh, and memo to US Magazine: It's not cute. It's just stupid grown adults trying to look like hip-hop gangstas. Just laughable and embarrassing. Duly so, when the people doing it want to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Or already have.

How very "Presidential" . . . if you're President Camacho at the House of Representin' (Strong Language Alert):

As reader Robert wrote:

This fist bump thing is the most ridiculous worn out fad I've ever seen in my life. Do any women realize how silly this looks? Is this the new (old for most) greeting for girl power? You've come along way baby, but I would much rather kiss a woman's hand than try to bruise her.

Please, Make It Stop!:

Bottom line: Stop trying to look hip. Try looking dignified for a change. GROW UP.

Exit Question: What ever happened to the High Five?
