Cartographically Dyslectic

I'm having an argument with my American husband about the expression "Cartographically Dyslectic" (meaning, of course, the male species inability to follow directions). He swears it's an American expression in common usage whereas I believe it was coined by the expatriated British labour activist/poet Michael Aidan (famed for the observation: "If tradition is the only reason for doing something, there is no reason to do it").
Can anybody enlighten ONE of us?
Thanks,
Kathy O'Brien
