What you verbally give your work-buddy when something you're attempting goes right, but you're currently "all yucky-messy" from the dirty/disgusting job you're presently engaged in, and so you don't wanna soil him by actually slapping his still-clean palm (i.e., he's not actually handling the greasy/muddy/gloopy items the way you are, but he's still providing needed assistance; perhaps he's aiming a trouble-light, occasionally actuating switches/buttons and/or operating other controls to test the device you're repairing, holding items like drapes or hoses/cables up out of the way so that you don't accidentally soil/damage them, etc.) with your icky hand. "I'll slap palms wif ya later, Pal, after I get washed up some --- consider yourself high-fived for now!"
A high-five rain-check can be a similar situation to a delayed hug, handshake. back-clap, etc... in all of these instances, you are merely postponing an appreciative/affectionate/encouraging/celebratory gesture until a more appropriate/convenient time. If you strongly wish to have the pleasant action administered right away, however --- such as if you feel that the person deserves immediate reward/gratification because of the exceptional effort/bravery he put out, or if he has to leave shortly --- a proxy-hug can sometimes be an adequate/reasonable option, provided there is an agreeable bystander present whom you can request to "do the honors" in your place.

“West Virginia High five”: the act of slapping your sibling on the buttocks with your hand. Different from a “pat” on the rear; resembles a cowboy slapping a horse on the rear as he sends it out to pasture.

An expression you use when you see someone you know down at the shops. This expression was founded in Knoxfield by a local legend, Aaron, who often gets ridiculed for owning the expression.
Random guy at shops: ‘Hey mate’.
Aaron: ‘High five, show me you’re alive’.
Random guy at shops meekly offers hand: ‘Yeah ok’
Aaron: ‘High five, show me you’re alive’.
