     [ "warm-waterfall clasp" ]

    1: A "past-heavenly" action --- comparable to a horseshoe-pillow neck-cradle --- to perform wif a hot chick; it involves nestling her against you while you're taking a shower together, and then dreamily holding each other in a loving embrace so dat da heated shower-water soothingly cascades down onto both of you at once.

      * e.g.,  ... Marshmallow-hearted stud: I love sharing a warm-waterfall clasp wif Tiffany; da prob is dat --- just like in da cases of a pillow-talk or a horseshoe-pillow neck-cradle --- it's hard for me to stay awake, since her ample warm soft chest-pillowz super-relax me and make me feel drowsy and contented. We therefore wait to do it till we're done bathing and are ready to towel off anyway, so dat we can then just sleepily step outta da shower and head straight to da bedroom, lie down naked, and doze off in each other's arms. 

     [ "clasp-retaining high-five" ]

    1: Refers to da humorous "I really like you" gesture of not merely slapping da other person's hand when ya smilingly offer said pal a high-five, but instead interlacing yer fingers with his and really "hand-wrestling him good" for a few seconds. A great way of showing a cute lady how much you enjoy/value/desire her companionship while you have hold of her hand, anyway; hopefully she will allow you to maintain your joyful clasp of said warm/soft extremity for an extended period afterwards, and possibly even accompany you on a hand-in-hand stroll around town afterwards if her current schedule permits.

      * e.g.,  ... A clasp-retaining high-five is an awesome way to initially "break the ice" with a new gal and get her head-swimmingly starry-eyed for you.. play your cards right and you may have her lying back on your bed stark-naked within an hour or two. 

     [ "CGH (Clasp, Grasp, and Hug)" ]

    1: You know when you see a brother, and you wanna go up and give'em a proper hello. You go in with the clasp, grasp, and hug. You know you boys when this happens. (It's like handshake, but wit love)

      * e.g.,  ... Man I didn't know yall were boys. I just saw you give him the CGH (Clasp, Grasp, and Hug). 

     [ "open-palm hand-clasp" ]

    1: What is sometimes a good idea to do when holdin' hands wif a pretty girl for da first time or two, particularly if (A) she is somewhat on da shy side, and/or (B) if she is considerably younger and/or smaller-statured than you, and so you don't want her to feel "pinioned" or "dominated". It simply involves your holdin' out yer gorilla-paws and cradling her slender delicate digits in yer palms, but not actually closing yer own fingers over hers, so that her hands are always "free". Usually da tentative-natured cutie will be so grateful for your gentle accommodating of her bashful uncertainty in this way that she will feel like "rewarding:" you by keeping her soft warm palms resting right there in yers for as long as you wish.

      * e.g.,  ... I employed da open-palm hand-clasp when I first tentatively romanced a slight-figured mid-teens sweetie-chick whom I'd known and played fun outdoor-games with ever since she was a cheerful smiley little girl; I guess my strategy worked, too, since she seemed totally "calm 'n' comfy" towards me, and never showed even the slightest inclination to lift away her shapely slender hands while she was sitting beside me on da couch. Plus most of her immediate family was home, as well, and they were also being super-friendly and warmly-welcoming to me while we were all sharing light casual conversation as a cohesive group, and so I actually felt like I was holding hands wif da whole family, not just wif Cute Daughter. 

     [ "inside-of-pocket hand-clasp" ]

    1: What ya do when ya wanna hold hands "skin-to-skin" wif yer hunnybunny while strolling around town together, but it's cold outside and so ya both have to wear gloves. What ya do is to simply "share" one pair of gloves between the two of you (put the left glove on your left hand and the right glove on yer companion's right hand), interlace the fingers of yer bare right hand with those of your sweetie's left hand, and then tuck your clasped hands inside your right jacket-pocket to keep both hands warm.

      * e.g.,  ... Doing da inside-of-pocket hand-clasp is usually okay for short periods of time, but eventually one or both of you may start to get a wrist-cramp from the slightly awkward grasp-angle, or your upper wrists may begin to get chilly from being partially exposed to the cold air. If the latter issue is the case, wearing a flock-lined pullover-hoodie can sometimes eliminate this discomfort, since this style of garment will usually have a nice long horizontal pocket that's specifically intended for "storing" your hands, and so you can both "burrow" your hands a lot "deeper" inside the jacket's thick cloth "tunnel" and thus have all of your wrist-skin covered. 

     [ "triple-s double-handshake clasp" ]

    1: A “single-status-scoping” maneuver to see whether a hot chick whom you’re interested in is rocking anything besides “non-official” finger-jewelry.

      * e.g.,  ... Using da triple-s double-handshake clasp is merely one of several pleasant hands-accessing techniques to visually determine if a gal is wearing wedding and/or engagement rings --- doing finger-interlacings, playing fingertips or palm-juggle or wrist-clap, or performing other soh-shuh-buhl activities wif her pretty hands are all good ways of figuring out whether said attractive damsel might be someone whom you could either court yourself or at least consider asking for a “more than just a hands-and-feet relationship” status.
