Hillary Clinton may not have a future on “Dancing with the Stars,” she has bigger fish to fry, but she did pop a move during the first presidential debate Monday night that has the social media world talking.
And shimmying.
It was a little shrug of the shoulders, a response to a claim she doesn’t have the temperament to be president, that took only hours to become a “thing” on the internet.
A viral “thing,” in fact.
When Clinton heard her opponent, Republican nominee Donald Trump say, "I have a much better temperament than she does,” it seemed it was all Clinton could do to contain herself. She sighed, said “Ok,” then gave a little shimmy.

At that moment, or soon thereafter, a gif was born, and it was named “Hillary’s shimmy.” The most popular gif using the move also featured former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal and some cat that, frankly, knows how to shake it.

Whether this moment, out of an hour-and-a-half of moments, will define the debate is another question.
