If you have been staying away from the news, social media, or even work emails, then you probably haven't heard all that is going on with COVID-19.
Everyone is taking lots of extra precautions to avoid getting sick or avoid getting others in their life sick including avoiding handshakes.
Well, if you're one of these cautious folks, may I suggest trying one (or all) of these nerdy greetings instead?
The Vulcan Salute AKA "The Spock"
A great way to say "hello", "good bye" or just "Live long and prosper"!
The "Wakanda Forever Salute"
"Nanu Nanu"
You probably have seen this on Mork and Mindy; this is a greeting similar to "Aloha" in the sense that it is used to say "hello" and "good bye".
The Three Finger Salute AKA "The Hunger Games Salute"
Seen in the Hunger Games movies. The Three Finger Salute was used by people in the 12th district to show admiration/respect and to mourn their loved ones.
The sign is made by pressing your three middle fingers of your left hand to your lips and then hold them out to the person, or people, that you want to show respect to.
Klaus Hargreeves's Hand Tattoos from Umbrella Academy
You don't have to go as far as actually tattooing your hands (but I'm also not stopping you) but a simple way to greet someone, you don't even have to talk and can just put a hand up and leave a conversation easier than ever!
Which nerdy way will you be greeting people with?
Until Next Time, Stay Nerdy!
