Pound it out
A fist bump is a greeting or gesture of approval made by two people lightly tapping their closed fists together.
It serves the social function of a handshake or high five but with minimal contact: We fist-bumped and went our separate ways.
As a verb, to fist-bump is to perform this gesture.
