The authentic version of the now Americanized dab. It was first used during the late 30's of the 20th century in Germany to greet their leader or any other (political) superior. During the early 40's the use of the European dab spread across Europe, hence its name being European dab and not German dab. Since then it has been and still is being used by people who keep believing in those political ideologies which are considered far-right. The dab is performed by holding the left arm down next to the body and stretching out the right arm straight forward and up at an angle of 40°-45° and completely opening the hand palm down but keeping the fingers against each other. It is most often accompanied by a loud formal greeting of the original conceiver of the ideology.
