Modern middle-class men are not content with shaking hands with our
friends;
it feels stiff, formal and a bit old-fashioned. We like to show our
affection with a more passionate meeting of chests. Those chaps who
don’t
want to be considered gay make this clear by beating down on their
fellow
huggers’ backs with their hands and playing them like a drum which, if
you’re being hugged by a proper homophobe, can hurt a bit.
From The Sunday Times' 50 point guide on how to be middle class.
It's funny cause it's true etc.
