has gloss | eng: A stylized greeting, exclusively performed between two people, the pound hug (also referred to as a "pound shake," ," "one-armed hug,","dude hug," "shug," "hetero hug," "bro-grab," "bro hug," "thug hug," or a "hip-hop hug") consists of a combination of a handshake and one-armed hug. Unlike the traditional hug, which symbolically and effectively removes interpersonal barriers and unites the two persons embracing, the male hug—performed by keeping the right hand locked in handshake while the left arm wraps around the other's shoulder—interposes the obstacle of the two right arms to the joining of the two bodies. The origin of this hug is not clear. |
