Copy/pasted from Facebook (as that seems to be my thing to do these days), though I will add in links via hypertext that weren't (initially) included in the original FB version ([EDIT] and for those with access to it, here is the [friend-locked] FB post itself, which has comments from people other than just me in reply to it now [/EDIT]):
What the hell is this "dabbing" thing that I've suddenly started seeing references to everywhere? Holy Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, Batman.
My first exposure (that I actively recall, anyway) was via seeing the oddly named (or, at least, I thought so at the time)"Dabman: When the Haters Dab Back" game on Steam a few days ago (EDIT) linking to the Steam forum page for the game because the actual game seems to have been removed from Steam (/EDIT), and the most recent was a post on GOG's FB page from today that I saw just a few minutes ago, and I know I've seen it at least two or three more times in between there. Urban Dictionary is little help, as their collection of definitions for "dab" are... various and sundry, at best.

I'm going to assume it's the dance move thing? But when did this become a Thing™?

Here is a video from two years ago in which some kid rants about people dabbing. So, I have to assume, dabbing has apparently been a thing for at least two years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQwYWJALyJI

So yeah... dabbing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dab_%28dance%29

Even knowing what it is now... I still don't get it. *shrug*
