Or (even better) the heel-kick friend-greeting from Beeblebrox...whatever his name was: https://youtu.be/8ZO9oKNKGNo

That makes my face scrunch and eyes cross. Sticking to the elbow bump.

This gets my vote.

I like the praying hands + slight head bow option. But just a head nod would be fine, too.

The hip/butt bump would be fun and amusing to see, but I think I'd go with the prayer hands with a slight bow. Or if I'm feeling fancy, I might go for a full on curtsy.

I'm voting for the Vulcan "live long and prosper." Though some people have the hardest time separating 2nd and 3rd fingers.

That's why it won't catch on. Too many people simply can't do it.

As others said above,

1. Hands in praying position with a little head bow. (best)

2. Each stand 6 feet away, extend right hand out for each person with thumb up like you are shaking hands, then move arm up and down twice.

3. Wave.

Maybe we should start using sign language for greetings. Has worked for many.
