High fives

Immaculate Pasta

High fives are great aren't they? Particularly when they're done well. This high five in Big always springs to mind as an example of a top quality high five.

Do you frequent in high fives regularly or are you just not a fan of them?

I do like to delve in them occasionally but I think high fives have always been a quality over quantity thing.

Does anyone have any tips how to give a good high five? Some fellow boardsies could learn a lesson in this thread and avoid some future social embarrassments. :cool:

Here's some background if anybody on boards are unfamiliar with the gesture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five :pac:

The pictures explaining the "too slow" high five in the wiki article are hilarious.

High fives rock. Some people don't like them, usually travellers or muslims. This adds to the brilliance.

Nothing better than two people going for a high five and missing, I love witnessing that.

High five, isn't it something that we used to do as kids or that an adult might do to a kid after he scored a goal or something. Peculiar eh.

Hmm I think you don't quite understand what a high five entails. It doesn't involve having a cock up someone's arse. Do you need to read the wikipedia article again? :cool:

Yeah Yeah Yeah

High fives are a pile of nonsense.

The single acceptable greeting gesture that will bring the American culture full circle. An abrupt collision of two individuals hands to signify coolness, acknowledgement, amusement, agreement, or testosterone (in the case of a male.)

3. high five 105 up, 40 down
A high five is a painful slapping motion shared between so-called buddies after something great has been accomplished.

There are 3 different types of high fives:
- PAINFUL high fives are the best kind! They leave that slight stinging sensation on your hand. If you get one of these, you know that both you and your friend are happy...

- WEAK high fives are often signs that your friend ISN'T very happy about your accomplishment. (A.K.A. He wished that HE had found the $20 lying on the street.)

- MISS high fives are when you miss the other person's hand entirely. If this happens, you need to get a life. It means you have a serious lack of accomplishments in your current one. I feel sorry for you.

"Yes! We beat those sorry losers!" HIGH FIVE (painful!)

"Oh, wow! I found a $20 bill" HIGH FIVE (weak!)

"Mom! Someone at school actually spoke to me today!" HIGH FIVE (miss!)

Those pesky Americans seems to love High Fives down low.

I'm constantly giving them the "high Five" down low, especially in the following work areas :

Hotel Baggage Handlers.
Those guys that get your car from the car park
Waiters / Waitresses etc..

Anyway... culture is way different over there, they all put their hand out on the sly looking for that "High Five" down slow so best to slap that sh!t
