I used this term recently in describing an auto incident. I also used it in one or two of my posts here. Some have asked me where it came from.
Since I love telling the story:
Nelson Rockefeller was Gov of NY from about 58-73. His family was one of wealthiest in America (Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan, Rockefeller Center NYC, etc etc)
When Ford became Pres in 74 upon Nixon's resignation, he appointed Rockefeller as VP.
When Ford ran for reelection, he chose Bob Dole, not Rocky, as his VP.
Nevertheless, Rocky campaigned for the Ford/Dole ticket.
At a Ford/Dole rally at NYU, some hecklers got on Rocky's case, so he treated them to what he had learned well from the streets of NYC. A news photographer "captured the moment" and it was the front page everywhere...
