British slang for a fist, or the act of punching someone with it. 'Five' refers to the five fingers on a hand, and a 'bunch' of them curled into a fist makes for a classic bit of colourful Cockney and general British street talk. Threatening someone with a bunch of fives means you're warning them they're about to get decked. It can also be used with dark humour or bravado, and has enough old-school charm to turn up in crime dramas and pub banter alike.
