A long-distance high-five, often referred to as an "air-five". Commonly used when a friend is too far away to reach and slap some skin, such as in a crowded party, on the dance floor, car-to-car, or in class.

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.
-Tell me now, bro, whats wi-five?
- Okay, look now, wi-five is like a high-five, but without cable connection.
- Nice! *wi-fives*
