Wikipedia Makes Me Laugh, Bitch!

Wikipedia has always been funny to me. Especially when they have a whole archive of information dedicated to common sense knowledge. Check out this excerpt from the article on "dap":

Dap is a form of handshake that originated in the 1960s among African Americans. The term dap may have originated as an acronym for Dignity and Pride, (or may have been backronymed) and was first used by African American soldiers during the Vietnam War. Though it can refer to many kinds of greeting involving hand contact, dap is best known as a complicated routine of shakes, slaps, snaps, and other contact that must be known completely by both parties involved. Some forms or other names for these greetings include "slapping five," "Black Power Handshake," "high five," "Five on the Black Hand Side," and "the pound" (as it is referred to by non African Americans unfamiliar with what Dap means). It is often confused with the word "tap".
