high five
Definition: A way to say 'Good job!' or 'Bravo!' by slapping someone's hand in
the air; to congratulate someone.
Example: 1) Nice shot! High five, dude!
2) High fives all around on the excellent presentation at the meeting!
Etymology: There are five fingers on your hand, and you lift your hand high in
to the air to give a 'high five'. This is a common gesture first used by Afric
an-American basketball players and now used by many people in a variety of con
texts. You can also give a 'low five' or go 'down low' after giving someone a
high five.
