===Other=== * Related to a handshake but more casual, some people prefer a [[fist bump]]. Typically the fist bump is done with a clenched hand. Only the knuckles of the hand are typically touched to the knuckles of the other person's hand. Unlike the formality of a handshake, the fist bump is typically not used to seal a business deal or in formal business settings.<ref>[https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2014/07/19/331809186/in-the-world-of-global-gestures-the-fist-bump-stands-alone]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5425459&page=1|title=Can the fist bump mix with business?|website=ABC News}}</ref> * The hand hug is a type of handshake popular with politicians, as it can present them as being warm, friendly, trustworthy and honest. This type of handshake involves covering the clenched hands with the remaining free hand, creating a sort of "cocoon".<ref>{{Cite book |title = Handshake: Student's Book: A Course in Communication |publisher = OUP Oxford |date=7 November 1996 |isbn = 978-90-5617-910-6 }}</ref> *In the sport of [[fencing]], after the [[Olha Kharlan#2023–present; World Championships|Olga Kharlan handshaking incident]] in 2023, the [[International Fencing Federation]] changed its rules so that the previously required handshakes between fencers at the end of a bout would become optional, with a distance greeting permitted instead.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1139359/fie-eases-handshake-rules|title=FIE agrees to make handshake optional after Kharlan controversy|date=29 July 2023|website=www.insidethegames.biz}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=International Fencing Federation decides to cancel mandatory handshake |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/29/7413359/ |access-date=2023-07-29 |website=Ukrainska Pravda |language=en}}</ref>
