Methinks Wordy Bitch needs to pay more attention to the trash BEFORE she links it. Nowhere in that pile of manure did it tell where the phrase ORIGINATED. Even though the title leads you to believe it will. It instead cites a bunch of literary examples of where the reference is used. It however does not claim any of those as the "first" usage of it. In all likelihood no one knows for sure, because it probably was verbal and not recorded.
