By the way, your memory was correct. That phrase was not in use around here way back then.

I'm not so sure. Seriously. I think the term goes back more than a year, but not in frequent use.

The volume of posts here makes it darn hard to find the genesis of local colloquialisms.

True. None of us are on any but a fraction of all the threads.

But I sure never heard that phrase anywhere here until quite recently.

Whatever...
