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)
