If you’re anything like me, and I think you are, then you like clapping as much as the next guy. Well, me too. Since we’re all in the same boat, here’s a list of the top bunch of things that make you, no me, no US clap!
1. Good Times. Whether they be with friends, family members, lovers, new friends or cousins, good times are always an occasion to touch palms repeatedly!
2. Joke Aftermath. Some jokes are jokes. Some jokes, however, are brilliant. To truly show your delight with another’s comedic genius, as it were, try making sounds with your hands if you have them. This is called a “clap” or “clapping”. He’ll know what you mean!
3. Encouragement. Some people can finish races, be they literal or figurative, without support, like us! But some people who aren’t as good as us need a little encouragement. The slap slap sound created by clapping might be just the ticket for these simps. Not to get political, but as superior people it is our job to encourage losers.
4. Play or Concert Conclusion. Let’s face it, whether you liked a play or not, it’s appropriate to clap at the end so as to not stand out in the crowd. Sometimes you’ll even be compelled to stand in what is called a “standing ovation”.
5. Athletics. Athletes are often encouraged by sounds. One such sound is the created by banging one’s hands together and banging them together again and again and again. This sound is called a “clapping sound”. Sporting events are a good place to encourage your favorite athletes.
