In general this is where the load has one side grounded and a transistor from the other side to the power rail. For the usual case of positive voltage rails, the transistor will be a P channel FET or a PNP BJT.
This expression is also used in motor drivers in conjuction with LowSide Driver (in H-Bridge configuration.
Have a look in H-Bridge tutorial for examples of High and Low Sides .. http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/robotics/tutorial/h-bridge/

High-Side-Driver is used to drive High-Side-Switch (e.g. mosfet or IGBT), where one end of the switch is connected to Power-Rail, and the other end is NOT connected to ground.
