Strike Five & Spare Five

Strike Five
  Michael Dabkowski e-mailed us with details of these ten-pin bowling related high five variations. Thanks Michael!

  "Usually done in bowling after someone gets a strike. The two people cross their forearms making an 'X' and and high five each other. It gets the entire forearm involved in the high five."


Spare Five

  "Same as the strike five, but only done with one forearm."

  In case you're not familiar with ten-pin bowling: a strike (getting all ten pins in one go) is marked on your scorecard as an 'X', and a spare (getting all the pins but needing to 'roll' twice) is marked with a '/' - hence the arm gestures.
