This is definitely not the origin of the phrase, but the thing that brought it into my vernacular was Larry Enticer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSuLFvalhnQ

It was one of those things that after hearing it, it just made sense. I probably heard it elsewhere before that, but I just always remember Larry Enticer cementing it. (I'm not sure about the date on that video. I remember seeing it a long time ago.)
