Faire un 5 contre 1
To mastrurbate
T'as mis vingt minutes aux chiottes… dis-moi pas que t'étais en train de faire un 5 contre 1.
In a very crude group conversation, when someone disappears to the bathroom for a long time during a party, a friend might tease them with this.
It's a 'mathematical' metaphor: five fingers against one, meaning the hand against the genitals — in other words, to masturbate (very vulgar register). The expression circulates mostly in spoken language, in the kind of teenage/locker-room humor, and also appears in variants like '5 contre 1' or 'boxing match 5 against 1.' It's used only between very close friends, never in professional settings or with strangers.
"Faire un 5 contre 1" does not mean to play a lopsided team game and dominate the other side, to argue with everyone and end up isolated, to work alone against a tight deadline. It specifically means "To mastrurbate".
