I do get a humorous lift from this thread. Reminds me of a Barbara
Stanwyck / Gary Cooper movie from 1941 "Ball of Fire" where she is a
mobsters moll hold up with a group of stereotypical, egghead
lexicographers working on a new version of an encyclopedia. She
convinces them to try to include current slang. One of the mobster
characters states he has to make a telephone call by saying "Gotta use
the Ameche" referring to Don Ameche's 1939 role in "The Life of
Alexander Graham Bell." (Same Studio.) Cue central casting stuffy
professor types falling all over themselves to document the usage.
(in this case Cue the central casting IT types...) I've never been able to document that usage "in the wild." If it was in the vernacular, it life must have been ephemeral in the extreme
