Low five, also known as a "down low" is the antonym for high five. The term low five is used as an alternative to the jubilant and celebratory high five. The gesture employs a similar motion where two individuals slap their hands together, but instead of reaching upward, they reach downwards towards the ground. The low five is often used in a more casual or laid back setting, where the high five might be deemed inappropriate or excessive. The low five gesture can also be seen as a sign of recognition between two individuals who share a particular connection, such as teammates or coworkers.
