: I first heard this from American friends in the 90's but never came across it before then on either side of the Atlantic. I was wondering if the origin was something in American pop culture I missed because I was abroad. Any one know where it comes from?

: Thanks

I heard it first on TV -- Saturday Night Live and sit-coms.
