A poorly executed [handshake], in which one or both of the hands involved are limp while shaking. Apparently it makes the sound ay-sop when they meet. It originates in Southern Wales, it is also said in places where [Welsh] would [migrate]. However it is a very rare saying nowadays. So expect weird looks if you make use of the phrase.
