Even farther back than 1993 I remember the 1986 ones.

I know I've heard the term for decades. I looked at wiki which said the first known use was in print in 1993. But the article in question appears to have been referencing a term that had been floating around for a while. So "first use" on my part was incorrect. First time in print would have been a better choice.
