Some people are calling it a “fist bump.” Others insist it’s a “pound.” I even saw it described as a “closed-fist high five.”
They’re all wrong.
Anyone who’s forty-something knows it’s the Wonder Twins deal. You remember: “Wonder Twin powers… ACTIVATE!”
I found this tribute on YouTube:

So from now on, he’s Zan, not Barack. And she’s Jayna, not Michelle. And if they win in November, they really will be the Wonder Twins.
