In the world where awesome human beings like me and Robert Downey Jr exist, there is one thing that we like to do when seeing another awesome human being and that is the High Five.
A high five is a gesture of happiness and celebration in which two people go and slap each otherâs palm with their arms raised as high as they can.
There are different kinds of high fives and I am here to tell you about most of them.
- the most commonly used form of the high five (if you donât know this, then I am sorry for you)
- the opposite of the Classic Five
- instead of having their arms raised, the high five is executed with their arms lowered
- an altered form of the high five
- involves two people bumping their fists together (duh)
- involves two people approaching each other and then doing a Classic Five, then as they walk past each other and lower their arms, they do a low five
- involves two people doing a Classic Five then pause for about five seconds and then doing another Classic Five
- usually done in situations where one person has done an awesome thing but results in some awkward silence in the air (i.e. sex with your friendâs ex-girlfriend or his sister)
- involves a person doing a Classic Five with himself
- usually done as a last resort to save oneself from humiliation, such as in situations where one person leaves the other person who initiated the High Five, hanging
- can also be used to compliment oneself after an awesome deed
- involves a person doing a Classic Five with someone who is sad because of some tragic event in his life
- never ever smile when executing this
8. Hypothetical High Five
- involves a person doing a hypothetical Classic Five with someone
- it is called hypothetical because it is used to celebrate something good that could have happened if things went another way
- when executing this, the people involved do not need to move their arms as they can just do it with eye movements.
- a form of the Classic Five in which the people involved, when raising their arms toward each other, move their arms in a way similar to how sperm move.
- a form of the Classic Five that the Romans use
- instead of the word âfiveâ, a âVâ is used since V is the Roman numeral for five (duh)
- a form of the Classic Five that only the closest of friends can use
- can only be used in situations where one of the two people involved is leaving for good
- a form of the Classic Five in which the people involved do a robot dance before executing this
- a form of the Classic Five in which the two people involved are far from each other and are conversing through the phone
- executed by slapping your palm on the screen of your phone
- a form of the Classic Five wherein one of the two people involved is God
- executed in situations where the person wants to thank God for an awesome blessing that he/she has received
- might hurt a little because Godâs hand is too strong for your little palm.
These thirteen kinds of the High Five that I just told you about are only some of the many forms of the High Five. I hope that you put these lessons to good use in real life.
Also, remember to say the name of the High Five you are using when executing it. Otherwise, youâll just look lame.
