Definition of snail, the
snail, the
noun
- a humorous response to an attempted fist bump whereby the attempted fist bump receiver does not reciprocate, but rather moves their hand directly underneath the fist, palm down, and raises the first two fingers.
The result is the snail's shell (the fist) with body (the flat palm-down hand) and antennae (the raised fingers.)
