In America, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is very popular. If someone says to you “give me five”, do not look for five dollars for him in your wallet! The person is not asking for your money, but your hand.
You can often see it in films and on TV. It means clapping of each other’s hands together. People sometimes do it when they celebrate something good. For example, the football players will give the high five to everyone around to celebrate when their team wins a game.
“Give me five” may come from the ancient Rome gesture(手势). One person showed that he does not keep any sharp(锋利的) things in his hand, so he raised the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). It is not dangerous for the emperor to meet this person.
