    I know one thing, it wasn't invented by politicians, they are usually to goofy and can't get their aim right. I wasn't made by any of the Owners of the NFL, or their guests, you see them missing high fives all the time.

    The first time I ever saw it used was in some sort of sporting event, by athletes. Most likely basketball so you have a good answers up there...
    High fives are reputed to have begun on the basketball circuit in the US in the 1979/80 season. The University of Louisville player Derek Smith claims to have invented the gesture and coined the term. That claim was recorded in the P. Dickson's 1989 Basketball Dictionary.

    Dunno, but Oliver invented high-five pawsies LOL
