What is Fiji handshake?

It's a handshake only a FIJI will ever know. ...But yea in reality the handshake is call-return type of handshake. When you approach a FIJI the handshake starts with the two parties clasping hands as a normal handshake would. BUT, person one presses with their thumb, followed by pressing with their pinky. In response, person two presses with their pinky, followed by pressing with their thumb. It's pretty simple, seems kinda dumb but who am I to judge, just some drunk FIJI told me on Spring Break.
