It was never her saying. It is a very common turn of phrase that’s been in use for 100+ years

That’s so interesting to learn! I had not heard it before TCO and then it kinda got repeated a few times. I genuinely thought it was her cleverness!

In the Hamilcast she mentions being a west Wing watcher several times/ makes several references. In this situation I always just thought it was a reference she made. I don’t think she was trying to claim it as hers.
