I can honestly say that I had never heard that phrase used before now, but I do know I felt icky when I read it in the comment before I even clicked on your link. Definitely glad to see it is being called out, terms like this absolutely need to be removed from modern discourse.

Pretty sure the phrase GP was looking for was "pull back the curtain", which likely originated with The Wizard of Oz.
