on the gripping hand
(jargon) | on the gripping hand
In the progression that starts “On the one hand...” and continues “On the
other hand...” mainstream English may add “on the third hand...” even
though most people don't have three hands. Among hackers, it is just as
likely to be “on the gripping hand”. This metaphor supplied the title of
Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's 1993 SF novel “The Gripping Hand” which
involved a species of hostile aliens with three arms (the same species, in
fact, referenced in juggling eggs). As with TANSTAAFL and con, this
usage became one of the naturalized imports from SF fandom frequently
observed among hackers.
