The “Hello” Hugh

An introduction to Douglas Adams’ brainchild H2g2; how to: Hug?

This hug type is gender specific and differs between men and women – to avoid embarrassment, try not to use the incorrect hug. This is the kind of hug you would employ when greeting a friend. Used on a day-to-day basis this would lose its poignancy so this is generally reserved for times when it’s been a long time since you last saw the other person.
▪    Male-to-Female – The hug is undertaken in the standard format and can include a peck (small kiss) on the cheek. It is a friendly hug and one that speaks volumes about the relationship between the huggers.
▪    Female-to-Female – Again, this follows the standard format and is no different from the Male-to-Female hug.
▪    Male-to-Male – This is a hug that speaks reams about the relationship between the men in question. Men only really hug their best friends and only when they have not seen them for some time. They differ in a multitude of ways from the standard, one of the most obvious being their brevity (it is rare for them to be a lengthy hug) and also in the fact that they usually involves a great deal of mutual patting on the back. This is intended to denote to bystanders and onlookers that although a hug is being undertaken, the huggers are actually hitting each other in a manly way. Male-to-Male hugs without hitting are frowned upon in certain circles. In order to effect a high-quality, non-dominant Male-to-Male hug, the diagonal formation is usually taken. Extending their upper arms – one arm high, the other low – the hug is carried out with one arm over the receiver’s shoulder, the other around their waist. It is generally acknowledged that the right arm goes high and the left, low. Contravening this rule can lead to an embarrassing semaphoric dance which looks like both huggers are pretending to be wind-mills.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: “Mankind.” Basically it’s made up of two separate words – “mank” and “ind”. What do these words mean? It’s a mystery and that’s why so is mankind.
