low five
Palm slap below
A low five is a celebratory hand slap delivered at waist level rather than overhead.
One person extends a palm facing up, the other slaps it from above.
It's the understated cousin of the high five—used when enthusiasm is moderate, space is tight, or you're just too tired to raise your arm: Give me a low five.
