The source of this quote is hotly debated. Some insist that it was coined by the Scottish whiskey distiller Lord Thomas Dewar, while others state that it was of American origin and first recorded in the late 1920s in The Louisville Times. The expression was also frequently used by the American experimental musician Frank Zappa.
