gimme some skin
Request hand slap
Gimme some skin is a casual invitation to slap palms in greeting or celebration—a request for a high five or similar hand-to-hand contact.
The phrase originated in African American slang and became widespread through sports and pop culture: Nice shot! Gimme some skin!
Now somewhat dated, replaced by variations like give me five or slap me some skin.
