I have like maybe 3-4 bros I hug on a regular basis... Like brothers from another mother type shi1e. Guys ide take a bullet for etc... well now maybe they will all jump in front of me not that a I a mini me on the way ;)

If somebody kills your mother, are you guys gonna track the killers down and make it hurt? That would make a good movie.

It's a possibility... wanna buy the rights? ;)

Why do we call them daps?

What kind of sissy hug is that?

You hug a good friend when you havent seen em in awhile. And it's a big, manly, exaggerated hug.

but you're not a guy, so you can't give guy hugs :p

i still say only when yuo're drunk. otherwise it seems gay. i don't want some guy coming up to me, know him or not, and hug me! I'd be all "WTF MAN! GET OFF ME!" and he'd be like "Man! Whoa! You came! sweet! Like, totally awesome... the keg's in the back corner over there and i got this thing to do and.." *passes out* then I'D be all like "ok, cool"

Denver Post
The Hip Hop
Guys greet with handshakes of various styles, pull themselves in toward each other, then bump their inside shoulders.

The Half-and-Half
Guys greet each other with standard handshakes, then reach around each other's shoulders with their left arms and pat each other's backs.

The Bear
Guys dispense with handshakes altogether. When they greet, the left arm drapes over the partner's right shoulder; the right arm goes around the waist. The left hand usually pats the partner's back.

It's almost as if you want to be sincere and affectionate; yet in a position that allows you to switch to a body-slam as quickly as possible if necessary.

I think if you are about to perform group seppuku...then a hug is appropriate. Other than that I say down with hugs, and up with hippos!
