Secret Handshake: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[School of Rock]]'' includes one of these.

* 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]]).

* 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.]]

 

* 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.
