Romano338 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hello ! I have a question : how do you calll the famous move Will & Jazz does to say hello ? In french, sometimes, we use an english word : "un check" ("ils se font un check" wich means "they do a check") but I don't think you use this word in english. Some people told me on a forum that we can say a high five (if the move is higher", a low five (a little bit higher), and this one is a "gimme five". Is that right ? Is it a noun ? So can we say "It is Will and Jazz' gimme five" ? Thanx in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart5 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 "Dabs" is the same form of what Jazz & Will did back in the day on the show. Dabs, in case you don't know, is basically a greeting handshake (usually between two younger people). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romano338 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 so it is a "dabs" ? (a dab or a dabs ?) Strange, cause I looked on Urban Dictionnary, and it is not a "handshake" for them... more a curse :lolsign: :lolsign: (third definition) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart5 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) I don't know about other countries, but "dabs" is what they call it in the US. Most teens and up greet each other with: "What Up?!" and a "dab". Similar to 30s and up: "Hows it going/How've you been" and a firm handshake. I don't know how its referred to in other countries tho, or it might even be called something else in other parts of the US. But universally I think people know what it is.

Romano338 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 ok, thank you ! PS : I watched a clip, when Will Smith is in a french tv show, and a guy told him about this move with Jazz, and he say "do you rember the check you made witch Jazzy Jeff ?" : is that correct (the word) ? Man, it's hard to name it ! In english, but it is very hard in french too !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
