OK, this got me thinking about the origin of that phrase. I've always credited Flint with coming up with it. I searched and I think the earliest use of it on the Cellar is in this thread from 1/10/2007 by Flint.

It's spreading elsewhere on the internet. Some dwellars have used the phrase in other forums since then. But I found one Google hit for the phrase back in October of 2005. Over a year before we first see Flint using it on the Cellar. Bizarre. And here, in late 2007 that same board discusses who came up with the phrase. So it's out there, and has been for a while.
