Hah, good question, and I will soon read that link. All I know is that phrase/idiom is also the name of one of my favorite albums from recent years, courtesy of Silversun Pickups.

Can I derail this into a music thread? Two of the songs from that album made the alt rock radio here in Buffalo...not sure what you know of them (Panic Switch/Royal We/Lazy Eye were probably their 'hits')...definitely listen to the song 'Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)' from that album if you like them and haven't heard that song!
