Neologism?
There's a notable lack of references for this apparent neologism. Anyone got any? The POV-pushing tone could do with work too, courtesy said references - David Gerard 00:30, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I've seen it in The New York Times, although I don't have a link to a specific article handy. 216.214.103.34 18:01, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Wordspy lists the earliest known appearance of this phrase to The Sydney Morning Herald in January 1991. Additional googling indicates that it's in reasonably wide circulation. Feco 02:35, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- wiktionary lists it as well, as a real word not a neologism, though the article has had only two editors, the first of which was just an IP and the second of which appears to have just gussied it with a presumption of its existence's justification so i'm not sure it would bear a request for deletion there. -Ozzyslovechild 7 July 2005 04:42 (UTC)
