praying with your fist so god knows you mean it.
means a meme dance where you drop your head into your elbow while pointing the other arm away, originally german slang for thanks turned into pure internet nonsense.
from dank means fresh or excellent in german, and danken means to thank, but the internet fused the pose with weed-culture dank memes around 2015, stripping out any real meaning and leaving just the gesture.
