Clinton
n.— «Every man has a couple of friends who demand a warm handshake and a hug even when you run into them at the newspaper stand (these people are referred to as “Clintons” in male-touching parlance). Some of us know men who would limit their greetings to fist and arm bashes at a funeral (the “Cansecos”).» —“What the Super Bowl can teach us about men touching men” by Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle Feb. 3, 2005.
