History Main / SpitShake

-->-- '''Lucas''', ''Series/StrangerThings''

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'', Castle, Ryan, and Espisito make a pact that they "seal" by all putting their hands together. It's not exactly a shake, but since there are three of them, it really couldn't be. Castle and Espisito simply put their hands in, but Ryan spits on his first. Espisito, who he touched most directly, winces and rolls his eyes, and Castle gives him a sympathetic look.

* Occurs several times in ''Film/TheQuietMan'' between characters doing business.

* ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome''. The Collector does this when making a deal in Bartertown.

* Happens in ''Literature/{{Pyrates}}'', twice. First when the three main friends agree to work together to search for the treasure, then again when a new kid joins.

* Also referenced in the novel ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird''. 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 happens between Tuon and Mat in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime.'' Despite Tuon being royalty, she really doesn't mind; she's used to strange traditions from odd corners of her empire.

* Played with in ''Literature/{{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.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'', Castle, Ryan, and Espisito make a pact that they "seal" by all putting their hands together. It's not exactly a shake, but since there are three of them, it really couldn't be. Castle and Espisito simply put their hands in, but Ryan spits on his first. Espisito, who he touched most directly, winces and rolls his eyes, and Castle gives him a sympathetic look.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', the pirate Ferdinand and the renegade Shiva sealed a deal this way. Shiva's teammates Enlil and Aphrodite certainly didn't [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacisV05n109.html enjoy the sentiment]].

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Bart and Milhouse do it to be "spit brothers" when the Simpsons have to move away.

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''' second season had Jimmy frequently doing this with his "Two-Shoes promises" - something he never did at all in Season 1.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': The Kankers seal a deal with Jimmy like this, much to his disgust.
