    • 2008 June 5, M.J. Stephey, “A Brief History of the Fist Bump”, in Time[1], archived from the original on 2008-07-08:
      Perhaps this is what makes the fist bump so unique. Though simple in motion, its meaning is far more complicated. A fist bump can express emotions from anger and fear to excitement and joy. In any other context, a clenched fist would be perceived as hostile.
