The Hamas Flapper
A couple of days after the 2006 election in Palestine, one of the pencil-necks in my gym started wearing a green baseball cap of the same shade green as the caps and flags that Hamas supporters favour. Every day, the same hat. An example can be seen at

The obligatory singlet, cut low and loose. No muscle to speak of, and a smooth look without being flabby. A mouth-breather, complete with a vacant look on his face. I actually think he might me Brazilian or some such and not Palestinian, but I really don’t care.
So why the flapper aspect to his ‘name’? He seems to spend every minute he is not monster-benching those huge 15kg plates on the bench walking around, hands in half-fists, waving them in the air in front of himself. Each hand rests on his toothpick^Wlegs and then is jerked into the air in front of him like an epileptic doing a front lat raise to a full 90 degree vertical elevation. This arm is flung back down, and the other one convulses into the air in an identical manner.
Like a metronomic spastic, the Hamas Fapper circles the weights area, flinging one arm after the other into the air, to return to his monster-bench to pump the pecs, and repeat the whole process.
