What does the idiom give you five mean?

Answer:

'Give me five' can mean 'wait a few moments for me' ('five minutes' is an idiom meaning 'a short length of time').

It can also mean 'congratulate me'. Colleagues often congratulate each other by 'high fiving' - which is a sort of aeriel handshake.

Try to google a video of the ritual.
