A bunch of fives.

How many fingers on your hand. Five.
Well okay it's four fingers and a thumb but the phrase a bunch of fives does not refer to a bunch of bananas. It's used as a threatening expression.

Do you want a buuch of fives?

So a bunch of fives is a fist formed from the hand.

Also:
A punch up the 'snouter'. To threaten to hit someone on the nose.

Thinking Box.

Snouter. From snout, being a pig's nose. What other words for the nose?
