A hit on YouTube: Obama and his wife "dapping"

When Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination Tuesday night, in his victory moment he didn't merely turn to his wife for a perfunctory, sterile hug. Nor did the two engage, like Al and Tipper Gore, in an awkward make-out session.

The Obamas dapped. 'Dap,' short for 'dignity and pride.'

... The move might have perplexed some political commentators, but it enchanted bloggers and more youthful pundits. Thousands have watched it again and again on YouTube, many dropping approving comments.
