Listed as unsourced since 2012. Though there are many online references to this saying, I have been unable to find any reliable sources for its origin. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 17:23, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Extensive search for reliable sources comes up empty for not just origin but for conceptual analysis or any other encyclopedic aspect. At this point, it would at most be a WP:NOT dictionary term, not an encyclopedic concept. FeatherPluma (talk) 22:44, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete based on FeatherPluma's research and rationale. I did a quick look for sources, and also found nothing more than trivial explanations or mentions. If a source can be found, it might be worth redirecting this or a form of it to Military_humor. Yvarta (talk) 20:56, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because the article deals with a trivial matter that cannot be properly sourced.TH1980 (talk) 23:29, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
