A payment, when you get paid for something, because as a kid, you do a job for your parents. You pay, do gardening. I do a bit of gardening and stuff. And you put in hours of work, and they just give you that brown pay. You know, I used to work at like a sailing club behind a bar. And you get given your pay packet. And I used to do the afternoon tea. The little brown one. I wasn't allowed to sell alcohol. So I used to do the afternoon tea. It was really hard work. She had to prepare all the cream teas and stuff. And you get this claim packet and they sort of give it to you. And that's it for the summer. And you look at it and you think, is that it? And I think that's the old Austrian handshake. It's that severance. There's a little bit extra in there for you. The old Austrian handshake. It's like a farewell payment. It should have been bloody more.

The frantic movement of the hand we all do after smashing your thumb with a hammer or similar blunt object that actually has no medical benefit whatsoever. Just shaking your hand after you've whacked it.

When you're a kid and you leave your grandparents' house and your nan slips you a quid on the way past so that your mum can't see.

Where you feel like you've got one over on a particularly greasy second-hand car seller. Until they hurriedly grab your hand to seal the deal with a grin, forcing itself onto their face.
