The phenomenon which occurs when one party tries to pound it and another goes up for a high five instead. A reference to how the person's open palm seems to "cover" the fist, much like rock paper scissors.
John: Dude, pound it!
Tom: High five!
John: Oh, god DAMN you Tom.
Tom: Sorry dude, paper covers rock!
Tom: High five!
John: Oh, god DAMN you Tom.
Tom: Sorry dude, paper covers rock!
