 * Delete Besides the fact that as a figure of speech this is already heavily used to mean something entirely different, it frankly sounds like a made-up slang pejorative. It's too much to ask everyone else to try and search this one out: the onus has to be on the writers to cough up some significant and extensive use of the phrase. Right now, it sounds like a hoax.

 * Delete As Wiktionary already has an entry for this DICDEF. Mccapra (talk) 05:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as is. Term is definitely not a hoax and is commonly used, in UK/Ireland at least, but this article is a dictionary definition. I am recommending deletion only for that reason. A non-dicdef article which hits expected levels of sourcing would be liable to be kept. Stifle (talk) 13:25, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
