It's a high five that doesn't involve actually contact, normally over a long distance where a real high-five isn't possible.

Mix of "wireless" and "high-five", hence "wi-five", (wireless high-five)

When u want to high-five someone, but he is on the other side of the room and u both are drunk as fuck to reach out. Its a mix between "wi-fi" and "high-five". Its "high-five"-ing but without physical contact.
