What is a high five?

If you're not North American, you might not know what a high five is. It's a celebratory gesture in which two people hold their hands up, swing them towards each other, and slap their palms together (with all five fingers, extend outwards - thus "high five"). If you've never done one before, you should find a friend and try it. They're quite fun.

Nice job! Hi5!
