This air kissing business.
One on each cheek.
But they don't actually kiss. They purse their lips and make a sound.
Who started this and when?
More importantly - do you do it? Have you ever done it?
Another interesting thing about greetings (at least I think it's interesting.)
When males from certain other countries greet each other they often use a hand-clasp. Often quite extended and with obvious pleasure.
Whereas many born-and-bred English males have barely even nodded their head in greeting. (I'm generalising of course.)
But I have noticed more recently that male teenagers of the English variety have started to greet each other with a hand clasp. A handshake, yet with a bit more to it.
I like it. One of the few teenage trends which I hope survives.
How do you greet?
