A secret handshake is a series of hand gestures that indicate loyalty to a club, clique, or subculture. The purpose of the secret handshake is to identify exclusive group members, and consequently to prevent inclusion of outsiders. Also, the element of secrecy provides the necessity of loyalty to the exclusive group. To reveal a secret handshake would be taboo and would cause the offending individual to be thought of as a traitor.

Home slide

The Home slide is a corrupt version of a gang handshake that is often seen in movies.

It begins with a normal hand shake. The pair move their hands into a 90 degree angle to lock thumbs. They then slide their hands away from each other to form a fist. One person taps a closed fist on top of the other's closed fist and this is reciprocated. Finally, they punch their two fists straight on.

Other elaborations exist including the horizontal clapping of each other's hands with and putting ones hand around the back of another and grasping them in a hug like fashion.
