Interesting! Where are you from? Or rather, where is this expression used? I assume the "la" refers to mano? - tennismom, Apr 21, 2010
I am from Mexico. We use that expression all the time, and yes, "la" refers to mano. - 00e46f15, Apr 21, 2010
Thanks so much!! - tennismom, Apr 22, 2010

How about:

¡Dáme cinco!

That's certainly better than "hola cinco," which is what they came up with! - tennismom, Apr 21, 2010
I agree with Marianne. Heard it in Mexico..¡Dáme cinco! - MexGuy, Apr 21, 2010
Thanks. ¡Muy amables! - tennismom, Apr 21, 2010
No way! this is awesome. - jeezzle, Apr 21, 2010
Hehe, I checked this on the translator and it came up with: Give me five! so it must be the right one! - April-Sarah, Apr 21, 2010
