There are Egyptian relief's that depict the fundamental Can-Can high kicking above the audiences heads. The Catatonians and Parisian women (French) also are depicted kicking the hats off of the gentlemen spectators. The "Triori " of 1549 from South Brittany was very similar to today's cancan, the women danced alone, lifting their dresses up in front and kicking their legs up to the ceiling. The dancers or "High-Kickers " as they were called, emerged over time and ended up in Paris, France. In the late 19th. Century Paris was still the dance center of the world.
The Can-Can is a hybrid of the Polka and the Quadrille and was said to be first danced in 1822, and by 1830 was being outlawed for a number of years as immoral and indecent and prohibited by the police. It has been said that "Chicard " invented the Can-Can, but very doubtful (He more probably named it).

probably someone from milwaukee who had too much time on their hands, so they spent hours on their keyboard looking for ways to shorten words, and make little symbols for emotions.
it then became a hit with noobs, and then people who wanted to shorten the time it took to send a text message. which, in turn, spread to the rest of the web.
