Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The headword, components, definition, and usage on PDF page 191 (printed page 167) were directly compared. This relies on one source; the older articles quoted by the report were not directly checked. Inclusion in this collection does not establish the year the expression arose or first became popular. This was read in the section tracking the use of previously surveyed terms; it is not claimed to have originated in 2005.
