Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term
tchecker
It's not the same as a high-five - (and high-five sounds too lame for my context anyway).
Context: it's in a screenplay. After a big boxing match, there is a cocktail reception. The victorious boxer comes into the room and is greeted by a friend.
"Tu m'as fait gagner 2000 boules mon pote!"
Il met son point en l'air pour faire un check. Le boxeur s'exécute, en se forçant un peu.
Thanks in advance for any help.

: "A fist bump, Originally called Respect in Jamaica and later the UK, (also called power five, dap, fist pound, touch, bones, spud, or brofist". Good old Wikipedia. PS. (later in the article): "Fist bumping behavior has been observed in chimpanzees" [!]
