And now... a new "Feeny Weeny" from the Millenials?

I believe it was Gerald Pea who created the term "Feeny Weeny" as a name for how fast you can slap/clap your hands while keeping your wrists together. (Have you ever tried to describe a "Feeny Weeny" to anyone outside of our family? It's impossible to not appear really strange).

Christopher was home a couple of weekends ago for his friend's wedding and he showed me this move. Is this a Millenial version of the "Feeny Weeny"?

Yes! That is a hand version of the original feeny weeny. The original feeny weeny was done with the fingers.
It was 1st started as a feeny weeny on the Pin-ball maciney. A feeney weeny is an anticipatory emotion, when you are excited about things to come. An example...you are home alone or with your main squeeze, it is cold & snowy outside, the fireplace is
cracklin & you are about to view a movie you can't wait to see. So you do a feeny weeny!

You do not do a feeny weeny DURING the movie or the event you are participating in.

I still do a feeny weeny to this day. I do the finger feeny weeny thing with both hands to the head.

Does that explanation help?

I did not realize there was a "finger version" of the feeny weeny. Your explanation helps, thank you.
