Something I did in class on the teachers desk last year at the last day.
"Hey Jerry lets get a picture of u dabbing on your couch."
"Okay Tom."
Jerry dabs on the couch, all of a sudden his mom comes in and gasps, now Jerry is gonna get spanked
Bob: Wait did you just dab???
Jeff: Yeah... Why?
Bob: You are dead to me.
A move consisting of placing the inner part of your elbow onto your eyes with one hand while the other hand is raised up and back, in the same direction as the forearm part of your first hand. It is often used by internet chads to display dominance and coolness.

Mike: *dabs*
Originally a drug refrance, turned into something to do for fun. It is often used in rap and pop. Its when someone puts their nose under their elbow with their hand in the direction of their opposite shoulder.

Use 1: I will dab when i go through the finish line.

The "dab" is a dance move that was popular in 2014, then had a resurgence in popularity in 2016, then Hillary Clinton killed it, royally.
A popular meme of 2016, accomplished by bowing the head into the elbow of one arm while pointing the other arm straight out in the same direction. Used often after proudly accomplishing something.
I proudly dabbed after landing my water bottle flip.
