I've been forced to censor all 5,300 citations of slang use.
With the penalty in place, there's just no way to compete on a level playing field

Definition of fives
fives
noun - plural
- rights to a sitting space recently vacated, that one intends on occupying again in the near future. One "calls fives" to claim, for example, a spot on a sofa when one gets up to use the bathroom. Anyone is permitted to sit in the seat during the person's absence, but must give it up immediately when that person returns. One would say, "I've got fives" while getting up from a seat.
