In the US, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a popular gesture. You can often see it in films or on TV. It means the clapping of each other’s raised right hands together.

People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.
