In english? “give a five” and “slap me five” any difference?

What is the meaning of “slap me on the shoulder”? What’s the difference between giving me five and slaping me 5?

Slap Me Five (1991 book) is really interesting.

The difference is only one of expression and context, not meaning. “Slap” me five is a funkier way of saying “give me five” or “give me some skin” or any of several ways of asking for a hand slap/slide!

Slap me five, ‘gimmie five, and give me some skin were all synonymous greetings akin to a handshake but with the palm up by the initiator.
