For those germaphobes the elbow bump is making a comeback. It first gained popularity with the avian flu and now coming back with the swine flu. For those of you who practice safe coughing/sneezing (i.e. coughing/sneezing into you elbow) be a trend setter and start spreading your elbow flu! I personally practice safe coughing/sneezing so if I start coming after you with my elbow, beware, I'm probably having a bad day or just want to see if I can spread my germs. So fit in and not look out of touch with the latest health trends it is now proper to cough/sneeze into your hands b/c the elbow bump is back- if you are unaware how to perform the "E-bump" below are the directions...
The elbow bump is performed when two people mirror each other in the following mannner:
- Contract the biceps to fold the arm in half.
- Stick the elbow out "chicken wing" style, exposing the armpit.
- Rotate the body towards the opposite person (e.g., counter-clockwise if using the right elbow).
- Tap elbows with your "partner".
- Retract extended "chicken wing" from direction it came from (e.g., clockwise if using the right elbow).
Some care has to be taken in the performance of the elbow bump, or else bruising may occur on the elbow, due to lack of muscle or fat padding on the elbow.
