Line 11: {{examples}} == [[Film]] == * ''[[School of Rock]]'' includes one of these. Line 24 ⟶ 23: * The main character in ''[[Robert Heinlein\|I Will Fear No Evil]]'' proves his/her identity to the judge with a secret fraternity handshake. * In the [[Magic Kingdom of Landover]] book ''A Princess of Landover'', the two G'home Gnomes have an elaborate secret handshake so that no one else can pretend to be them (leading the titular princess to wonder why anyone would ''want'' [[Butt Monkey\|to be them]]). * In ''[[~~Discworld/~~Guards! Guards!~~\|Guards Guards~~]]'', the main villain creates a secret society made up from people who would be rejected from any other secret society "the sort to dislocate their fingers with even the simplest secret handshake". * The Freemason [[Expy]]s in ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' do this. They also have a secret salute and a few sign-countersign phrases. Despite this, they're mostly just an over-ceremonial charity organization - except, of course, [[I Own This Town\|for the offshoot]] [[Secret Circle of Secrets\|featured in the story.]] == [[Live -Action TV]] == * The "be seeing you" okay-sign from ''[[The Prisoner]]''. ** This one was used as a [[Shout-Out]] in ''Babylon5'', as a means of identifying the conspirators behind the assassination of President Santiago. Line 38 ⟶ 37: == [[Tabletop Games]] == * ~~Given the numerous Secret Societies in Alpha Complex,~~ ''[[Paranoia (game)\|Paranoia]]'' can be rife with these, given the numerous Secret Societies in Alpha Complex. Devious GMs are encouraged to give the players' societies secret handshakes that are very similar to some other group's handshake, then direct them to find an ally and sit back as [[Hilarity Ensues]]. == [[Video Games]] == Line 67 ⟶ 66: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Rituals and Ceremonies]] [[Category:Body Language]] Line 72: [[Category:The Secret Index]] [[Category:Hand Tropes]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
