When was the last time you gave someone a high-five and what was it for?

Lately I'll just thump my chest with my fist and wink.

Well, combining it with Jim Carey quotes is a sure way to ruin a good thing. (I'm thinking that sentence may be reusable.)

After Ken did a fantastic forehand on the tennis courts on Saturday.

I was sitting on a bench in the mall when the Easter Bunny appeared before me, and held up its hand like a stereotyped American Indian saying "How." I was confused, but then realized the Bunny was trolling for a high-five, which I gently gave him before going upstairs to Waldenbooks.

I asked for a high-five once, from another British girl, sorry brutish, she was from Dundee, and somehow she misunderstood and cracked me in the jaw really hard

I regularly high-five my students in the corridors as a form of greeting in the mornings.

'Mis-taaaah Stuchber-eeeeeeee!'

'Dazzaaaaaaaa!'

My cat sort of hi-5s me now and then, the lil loon.

Spencer speaking of thumping his chest reminds me of that noble gesture G'Kar does on Bab5 where he thumps his chest with a proud fist and does a little bow - why don't we have those kinds of noble gestures anymore? Bows, folded hands, curtseys, etc.

Two weeks ago at a nine-year-old's birthday party at a roller skating rink. The birthday boy had must completed a complicated roller skating maneuver. Maybe that doesn't count.

Celtics game vs. Toronto last week, after Walker and Pierce made 3's to open up a huge 16 pt lead before pissing most of it away in the 4th quarter.

last night when my husband and I mutually fished an actor's name out of our brains, he came up with the first name and I came up with the last and then we high-fived.

Mr Stuchbery, how do you pronounce your name? I say it in my head all double barrelled, like "Stoosh-Berry" - is that wrong?

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

six years pass...

Well?

My brother-in-law had a great drive on the 8th hole yesterday, and he initiated a fist-bump. I complied. I like to high-five with young kids at school, or with my friends' kids. 6-year-olds will feel really special if you hit them up with a high-five.

Gosh, I wonder which female acquaintance of mine I was high-fiving in 2004.

This afternoon with my good friend & work colleague, as a form of goodbye & acknowledgement of a day's work well done.

I high-five with my gf all the time. We think it's cool, others think it's stupid and annoying.

ironic high-five after winning a team game of two-headed giant magic the gathering

introducing myself to toddlers at work, "whats your name? fab, can I get a high five? and a low five? and a fistbump?" - the easiest way to win over a three year old boy is to let them show you how hard they can smack your palm it seems

boxedjoy, Sunday, 25 August 2019 09:50 (four years ago) link

I'm surely not the only person here who has never given anyone a high-five?

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Sunday, 25 August 2019 10:18 (four years ago) link

I've trained myself to not instinctively recoil in terror if someone tries to shake my hand, but if I'm loosened up with booze I'll shake hands/fist bump/high five with anyone, but only out of reciprocal politeness, not into any of this physical contact game at all!

Handshakes are AWFUL and i despise them

boxedjoy, Sunday, 25 August 2019 12:00 (four years ago) link

I do not want someones large sweaty hand gripping mine with a sore tightness in order to establish "a rapport"

boxedjoy, Sunday, 25 August 2019 12:01 (four years ago) link

I recall someone who once shook hands with Osama Bin Laden before an interview saying it was quite disconcerting because he had a hand like a "withered kipper".

calzino, Sunday, 25 August 2019 12:12 (four years ago) link

I high five my kids all the time.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 25 August 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link

I high-fived a dog today because the young girl who was walking her was (rightly) proud of having taught the dog to high-five. I got a high-five from a dog, the dog got a biscuit from me, the kid got validation for her training methods. Everyone was a winner.

trishyb, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 14:12 (four years ago) link

As someone said uphread, my wife and I high-five each others quite regularly for whatever reasons !
Also with friends during/after football games (on tv) or after a tennis game (irl).

Xp. Hah! Good work by that dog's owner.

as i walked past a booth at the mall yesterday a guy working there reached out to give me a high-five "for good vibes".

Every Saturday subbing on or off the field while playing Ultimate, though it’s really more of a low five.
