Two people who have just come to some sort of agreement both spit in their palm and then shake hands with the wet hand. Basically, this is the "lite" version of a Blood Oath. However, it still conveys utter seriousness that is many steps above a Pinky Swear. Plus, it avoids the horrors of showing an actual Blood Oath. And finally, it happens in real life, so it's hardly unrealistic. It's often used by children, country "bumpkins" or members of certain cultures, like Roma and Irish Travellers. A popular comedy trope is to have the resident Neat Freak or germophobe act disgusted or shocked at having to do this in order to seal a deal. Not to be confused with Spit Take or Spit Shine. |

Played with in Dune when Stilgar the Fremen spits on the table to seal his alliance with House Atreides. Water being so rare on Arrakis, this is a sign of respect, though it's not taken this way at first. Fortunately Duncan Idaho is there to explain matters, and spits on the table in return. | |

The Elenium trilogy: When the Loveable Rogue Platime — head of the local Thieves' Guild — is recruited to join Queen Ehlana's council as an adviser. Platime, being a commoner to the last hair, seals the deal with a spit-shake, and Queen Ehlana follows suit, if only because she was in the middle of tricking him into accepting a really clever 'bargain', and didn't want to get distracted. She only admits to being grossed out by it afterwards, when she demands a washing-basin IMMEDIATELY so she can wash her hands. Quite a bit later, she uses a spit-shake to seal a deal with the newly-named Archprelate - he needs a ring passed down through the royal family of Elenia for generations, in order to launch a desperate mission to stop the evil Zemochs - and Ehlana wants to marry her beloved (but quite a bit older) knight, Sparhawk. The Archprelate agrees to the bargain, and being a clever old fellow who's been around the block a few times, he recognizes the spit-shake gesture and follows through. Sparhawk is somewhat distraught by seeing his life get traded away like that. Then in Domes of Fire, Sparhawk and Engessa begin negotiations over the marriage of Kring and Mirtai (Sparhawk serving as Kring's designee, Engessa as Mirtai's adoptive father). Somehow, Tynian and Ehlana get involved as well (on Kring and Mirtai's side, respectively) and go into lengthy theatrics before finally settling on terms with a spit shake. As the end result was exactly what Sparhawk and Engessa had quietly agreed upon earlier, they do the same to make it official. |

In the pilot episode of Misfits, Nathan attempts to initiate a pact with Curtis to each get one of the two girls doing community service with via one of these (he discounts the shy third boy, Simon, which is ironic in retrospect). Curtis declines, but the four of them do sort of pair off the way Nathan intended, at least at first. | |

Also referenced in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The teacher Miss Caroline asks Scout to hold out her hand (intending to hit her with a ruler as punishment), and Scout wonders to herself "what bargain [they] had made" as she thought "she was going to spit in it, which was the only reason anybody in Maycomb held out his hand: it was a time-honored method of sealing oral contracts". Is referenced again in the following chapter during a scene with her father, Atticus. | |

One particular villager-of-the-week in Wakfu has a habit of spitting at every chance he gets, so it's only natural that he'd spit in his hand before shaking. Amalia is understandably a little grossed out by this, but by the end of the episode, she's the one spitting in her hand and offering it to him. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Applejack and Rainbow Dash do this throughout "Fall Weather Friends". The "shake" part is a little different as well, since they're ponies, and as such, don't have hands. What they do is push their hooves together in what the fandom calls a "brohoof" (so named because it greatly resembles the "brofist"). Applejack attempts one with Rarity in "Look Before You Sleep", but Rarity is disgusted by it and doesn't go through with it. In season 5 episode "The Hooffields and McColts" the leaders of the Hooffields and McColts do this to signify the end of a long running feud. |
