In most cultures, humans exchange salutations upon arrival and departure. But how much time must pass in order for a "Hello" and a "Goodbye" to be bundled into one handshake?
The purpose of this page is for the posting of the songs for the "What Rhymes With Awkward" blog.

Story behind the song
For those of you who are unfamiliar with daps, it can be defined as a lazy and informal version of a handshake often utilized in social settings.
Back to DAPS ELAPSE
I've come up with a term to use when not enough time has passed between salutations.
For example: If you pass someone that you know in the halls of your school and you have a brief interaction (one to two minutes) that is initiated with a handshake of sorts, giving daps again at the end of the conversation seems silly doesn't it?
The crucial factor to consider when giving daps: Time between salutations vs. appropriateness
Aside from time, you also have to factor in the next time you're going to see this person and how long it has been since you've seen them.
Lyrics
Here's the situation/you're hangin wit friends
Something comes up to bring the Day to an end
You're young and hip: so handshakes are never fun
Before you leave/you give daps to everyone
Next thing you know/you're almost home
And Then you realize "I forgot your phone"
So five minutes after you left//you're back
Grab you're phone/and leave/but what about daps?
------
How much time must go by before
You can skip the daps and slide out the door
Twice in a short time/Can't Stand that Stuff
C'mon man/Our hands just touched
There's a certain grace period/if you breach it
I'ma just leave and say "Peace kid"
If not enough times Happens to pass
Between hand shakes/call it "Daps Elapse"
CYE Clip:
Larry: Okay, we're gonna take off. Goodbye?
Crowd: Nice to meet you. Nice meeting you. Bye?
Larry: Nice to meet YOU
Cheryl (Larry's Wife): Well, go back there and get it
Larry: Oh no, c'mon. Don't send me back there, please.
Now you want me to go in and do the double goodbye??
Cheryl: Just go back in, it'll take three minutes
Larry: It's so AWKWARD
Cheryl: This is stupid. Just GO!
That's a clip from one of my favorite shows: Curb your enthusiasm
See, Larry David knows how awkward it is to do the double good bye
Now, Daps Elapse is just a term I say to people when I feel that not enough time has gone by between our salutations
You should try it out with your friends
