Fist pump
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fist pump is a celebratory gesture in which an enclosed fist is raised before the torso and subsequently drawn down and nearer to the body in a vigorous, swift motion. The fist pump is frequently carried out in parts of the Western Hemisphere, Europe and Asia to denote enthusiasm, exuberance, or success and may be accompanied by a similarly energetic exclamation or vociferation. The gesture may be executed once or in a rapid series.
Though they are notably conspicuous in sporting activities[1] (especially upon the attainment of a goal or score), fist pumps are present in a wide range of other industries including real estate marketing, naval engineering and information technology.
