Well, as for how it originated...it's unclear at this point. There was one NL manager who would wait for guys after they shower and slap their naked butts for a job well done. None of the guys really cared or became uncomfortable.

As for how and when it originated...it's all up in the air as of now. Your guess is as good as mine's.

"those who protest loudest are most giulty"

Just messin with ya FM. The only conclusion I can draw is that I've seen it happen to kids. A kid does something good you pat his head. You can't go around patting heads, or patting backs, and if you missed a high five you'd look like a jackass. high fives are stupid looking anyway. I suppose its like saying get your butt movin when they give you a pat and send you out, but in the end its just a congratulatory form.

It always has and always will be a mystery where it beagan. Could have been centuries ago. Meh, oh well.

This is just one of those random questions that I thought of that will probably torment me until I figure it out. I hate it when I get these stupid questions stuck in my head!

Because your hands are naturally down low.

giving someone a kick up the backside motivates them, maybe this is an extension of that.
