that's really funny.. I had no idea about this, and then on the school bus today after school my friend randomly said "High five!" to a girl sitting across from us, and she was so surprised she didn't high five back. He was (obviously) very offended, and when she said "I thought it as a prank of some sort!" he proved her lack of friendship by high fiving everyone he could reach (catching them off guard and without giving them any reason for it), and everyone else immediately high-fived him back and THEN asked what the reasoning was (to which he answered "don't worry about it").
I also participated without knowing it, although I high-fived even more yesterday. At lunch me and and my friend Kevin were seeing all the ways you could make creative high-fives... it was sparked by Kevin's move to make his hand into a fist right before a high five, with his thumb pointing away from the other hand, and he'd yell TURKEY!! Ingenious, I know.
It was all very lame. But... now I can safely use the excuse that we were preparing for high-five day, and it will all make (better) sense. Oh how I love a good, powerful high five.
I've learned the best high-5 prank ever is to go to high-5, and then lift up your elbow so that they hit your elbow instead. I've done it before, it's the best.
I can't believe you youngsters are still using those tricks. I used to like throwing off the timing sometimes. Just stagger your high-five at the last second.
