What is Rosemond?
1.
The name for the grabbing of another's hand in an effort to greet or show respect to them. Similar in concept to a handshake, the Rosemond is when two palms meet and the thumbs wrap around each other, while the fingers meet within the Rosemond. It is often used by youth and is sometimes used to transfer small amounts of money or drugs, in this case the fingers will rake the goods from the other persons palm, this is often done when there is no transfer at all to make the transfers less conspicuous. The greeting has been popularized throughout the late 20th and early 21st century.
I saw him Rosemond the bouncer at the club, I bet there was some money in that Rosemond.
Dude 1: Did you stay and talk?
Dude 2: No, he gave me a Rosemond and said he had to go.
