Uncited and fairly useless; is there anything worthwhile to say about the phrase except the etymology, which belongs in wiktionary, not here? There doesn't seem to be. Prod was removed without comment. Propaniac (talk) 12:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary and the only other content of this article is trivial facts about previous uses of this phraseRcurtis5 (talk) 18:44, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. it's a mere dictionary definition, filled with anecdotes to make it seem a valuable article.--camr nag 23:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or transwiki. It is a useful, formerly common term. Bearian (talk) 01:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a dictionary definition, plus anecdotes and an "in popular culture"-style collection of random facts. There is nothing encyclopaedic here. Wiktionary already has an entry at New York minute, the only dictionaric thing that it doesn't have is the second sentence. If the second sentence can be cited (I've not looked) then that could be added to Wiktionary, but I'm not certain it's needed. Thryduulf (talk) 20:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Very widely used phrase; there may be other uses in popular culture to be added,as well as further discussions of the concept.DGG (talk) 12:02, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Rcurtis5 and Thryduulf: article consists of a dictionary definition and an arbitrary list of occurrences. Cnilep (talk) 14:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
