I like the buck toothed yuck yuck yuck look, about the only face I can make, because as you know the male of the species is not allowed to reveal pain or fear, but in doing that can't move his face to show other things. So it ends up cast in stone.

I like to make faces at unsuspecting persons while they're talking about something serious.

I think that's the main use of my bucktooth yuk-yuk face. And I applaud you for that sort of thing. More of that is needed.

It's quite amusing, most don't know how to react. I also like to stick my tongue out at people I don't know that are staring at me. Actually people I do know aswell.

Don't they know that satring is rude? Darwin wrote a book called 'The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals,' and claimed that if one animal stared at another for more than five seconds it implied agressive intent.

Handshakes are another thing I just don't understand.

There must be some cultural history behind it, I'll try to find out. I think the intent might be, for two men, to express a certain level of trust, and yet be able to do it from a distance that still offers enough space for defensive action, which a hug would not offer. That doesn't say much about the how and why it came about, even if that were true.

I think it is to an extent controlling. Sometimes a drunken strongman in a bar will squeeze with his brute strength and try to make you appear discomforted, at any rate demonstrate dominance, mostly to himself.
Then there's the handshake that feels like a dead fish, which implies a level of disdain on the part of the fish-handed, but resentful inability to control as well.
Then there's the firm, manly handshake, equally applied by both parties, that indicates parity and good will.
And all handshakes in between and combined.
I think women only shake hands when the men around them are doing it. But would do it far less in exclusively feminine company.

In some countries it's frowned upon and seen as an aggressive or controlling gesture.
I think it's funny that women hardly ever shake hands.

My brother and I decided I should get an eye tattooed on my palm so when people go to shake my hand it freaks them out.
I've noticed most women don't shake hands with other women even when men shake hands and even when they shake hands with men. I've also noticed only certain kinds of women really go around shaking hands, and I find they tend to the kind of women I don't like much.

Dn't know if any of this is useful....it still doesn't tell me anything about the origin of the handshake.
" Handshaking is commonly done upon meeting, greeting, parting, offering congratulations, or completing an agreement.
The purpose of a handshake is to convey trust, balance, and equality.
Many of us use it very often on a daily basis, but only a few know that a handshake holds many secrets…
For instance, handshaking can offer clues about the country provenience of a person. Handshakes differ in many cultures.
In Africa for example,a handshake is done using very little energy and can last for up to a few minutes (time used to exchange attentions and talk about their relatives). In western Africa, handshakes include ornamental gestures, such as snapping the fingers as the hands part.
The evolution of handshaking in the Afro-American population is mostly an effect of the central role played by it in the African communities.
Although the English exported this gesture in many parts of the world, in the XVII-century it was used solely for sealing agreements. Only later it became a greeting and started to spread in other countries.
The handshake is a gesture exported by the English to France, where it became known as “le handshake” (according to Theodore Zeldin, author of “The French”). Today’s french people are very attached to this gesture.
The Germans and the British tend to use handshakes very rarely, but the french shake hands multiple times daily, and so do the Russians, Italians and Spanish people.
The french handshake is a short energetic shake, while the Italian one lasts longer.
The social rules that assign who shakes who’s hand differ from country to country. If in France handshake used by both sexes, in England it is used mostly by males, and less times between females or males and females.
There are 8 types of handshakes:
Vice. Strong grasp of the other person’s hand. It’s often used unconsciously, but most of the times it has the intention to express power. People who want to Show that they’re not weak and inefficient as others may believe often use it as a form of compensation.
Dead hand. The opposite of the vice, a totally relaxed hand. The ones who employ this type of handshake don’t connect to the other person. Their attitude, just like their hand, remains passive. Often met at persons with big egos, but also at people who have to shake lots of hands. It’s also influenced by the cultural background (African handshake). Still, the dead hand is often used for other reasons: women wanting to leave the impression of languishing femininity or by strong men use to underline their power (Mike Tyson had a dead hand handshake).
Firm hand. Fingers get around the partner’s hand; the pressure is moderate. Studies found that it is used by extrovert persons. It is also used by women who are open to new experiences.
Blood sucker. Scary name… There are people who hold their partners hand after the handshake. By holding the other one’s hand, a person can control the flow of the discussion. What is interesting about this handshake is that the “victims” rarely have the courage to free their hand.
Wet hand. People with damp hands often try to hide this by wiping it off their clothes before shaking hands. It’s a sign of anxiety, but there are also people who have a genetic illness that determines this.
Restrengthen. An amplified version of the handshake, in which one uses his both hands.
Invasive handshake. In a symmetrical handshake, the participants hands should meet at half the distance between their bodies. The invasion refers to moving that space in one of the personal spaces of the participants.
Dominant handshake. One of the participants turns their arm so that their hand ends up above the other one’s. "

A slight, polite Japanese bow is my favorite. Code of Bushi-do very clear on this!
