When you applaud, do you clap the left hand onto the right, the right onto the left, or are they symmetrical meeting in the middle?
I think . . . right on left (am right handed); or sometimes upright in the middle.
hell i thought you were talking about THE clap! :lol2:
(you knew that joke was coming)
Should I stay or should I go now?
And over the years I've worked out how to get the most sound without hitting too hard.
My clap is turned up to 11.

I make the sound of one hand clapping.
What inspired you to ask this question?
Orchestra night, where one needs to applaud as loud as possible for one's offspring, I noticed most people clapping right onto left, needless to say I'm contrary...and I'm fascinated by handedness. So I wondered. I left handedness out of the poll because I know you're all bored with my obsession. :lol:
God I'm such a dick today -late night and now I'm totally out of sorts -I just voted for the wrong one! :facepalm:
Aren't they a musical group?

Technically I voted for the wrong one too. Clapping in class today I realised I do in fact move both hands, but my right hand more. Right hand is on top moving down, left hand comes up to meet it. The volume is all in the cupping. Fingers of right hand over the left hand thumb.
People who are clapping quietly sometimes turn round to look at me.
Loud and proud clapper.

First I'd heard of your obsession so interesting for me. Also interesting to know that most people clap right onto left.
ha. I'm right handed but I figure skate and snowboard an other such things lefty. I used to be pretty ambidextrous until I badly sprained my wrist as a kid. My boys both struggle with natural lefty tendancies too -Hector now freely admits he is a lefty, but he writes right-handed. He went through a period of being acutely aware of the norms and wanting to be just like everyone else, so he was determined to write right-handed. But he colored left handed, he cuts food with his left hand, reels a fishing rod with his left....... (and now makes awesome catches with his left ;) ) Thor is totally mixed. But it is a struggle being lefty in a right-handed world, particularly when you're not aware that that's what's causing your apparentl clumsiness or inability to use everyday objects with ease (scissors, can openers....).
And I'm fascinated that there are so many things affected by handedness that you never think about. Like whether you turn clockwise or anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when you spin in place. And now, apparently, maybe, how you clap.....
I make the sound of one hand clapping.
Sometimes, I make the sound of one hand fapping.
