The BossShake.
The handshaker approaches with his hand held out horizontally, palm facing down. The employee is expected to turn their hand so that it is facing palm up, and so shake from a position of weakness.
The counter :- place your hand similarly horizontally, plam down, and place it on top of boss's hand. Proceed to shake it. Recommended only if you do not want to keep your job.
The FakeShake.
Put out your hand as if to shake, then, at the last moment, whip it away, place your thumb to your nose, and wiggle your fingers.

Points well worth adding, MyRedDice. The first, in particular, is used if you want to establish superiority over someone. Handshakes can be nasty, can't they?

Hi there, I didn't know who you were when I first posted, I do now 
You must have as many, or more probably more, aliases than I have.
