So there has been this recent trend at Whitman that started within the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and has since spread to a lot of the freshman class.

It looks something like this:



You achieve the desired effect when you snap your hand back and forth, so as to mimic packing tobacco in the can so it is easier to dip. I don't do it personally, but there's plenty of other hand gestures that people use all the time, so I'm not going to split hairs. Here's some others you might see around campus on a regular basis:

They're meant to send feelings of good times. The best hand symbol doesn't even need an introduction, but needless to say it sends a much harsher message:



This isn't used nearly enough on campus, mainly because everyone wants to just be chill. But every once in a while, like if you're totally trying to mack some chick and some dude just comes up and totally just starts jockin' the chick you were tryin' to mack and he totally isn't smooth, sometimes you just gotta throw up the bird.
