It was reported to have been heard in several package stores across New York City, but use of the term seems to have fallen into obscurity quickly, almost universally referenced thereafter, when at all, with an almost venomous derision, such as in an anonymous blurb in the folllowing week's red-collar edition of Newsweek: "Waiting patiently from the underground office, Solomon and C-Man made with the guns, and quick.
