The amount of people in this thread who don’t believe this is a real phrase is ridiculous. It gets used all the time in politics. It’s in a Radiohead song. It’s in the Lego Movie. It’s in a Banjo Kazooie game. It’s the name of a recent Pulitzer Prize winning book. Fucking Elon Musk has tweeted the phrase.
Just because you didn’t know something exists does not mean it doesn’t exist.
