So where did the term originate? Who is it attributed to? I first heard it in 1981.
Sony
Someone had a chip on their shoulder about Sony, especially the Playstation. I took out some vandalism. Also there was a reference to high speed internet in South Africa, without any discussion as to whether that was a market rate for the internet or not.
Other Definitions
What about movies and things that take ideas from others and say it's original or that they have used it in some new way and haven't? That's a very common use, and I think it should be mentioned. Gopherbassist 09:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
