High Five!

Argh! Well done, you're so cool! High five, buddy!
How do I say "High five, buddy!" In Spanish? Actually I don't know how to tell someone they're so cool either, but my question's about high fives. Do in fact, Spaniards high five each other at all? And do you think it would be a noun, like "un high five", or a command, like "highfivemelo"?

Ah, fantastic! What a great and illustrated answer. I'm looking up chocar now. Apart from crash, clash, strike, we have
*transitive verb
5. to shake (manos)
¡chócala!, ¡choca esos cinco! (informal) -> put it there!*
Oh that's interesting, the dictionary thinks this is a handshake. But your second picture is enough proof for me. I think the dictionary needs high five in it...
