One might also credit germaphobics for the fist bump's popularity. Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel reportedly adopted the gesture as a friendly way to avoid his contestants' germs...
...initiatives this year, from the release of a new University-wide calendar to a greater emphasis on University-wide fundraising, have evidenced the new order.
