This term was indeed coined by sportscaster Dan Cook. {{helpme}} I wish to insert part of an internet article with additional information on the subject, but your information on additions state that is not permissible.
I was sure I had seen that "saying" in "Catcher in the Rye" when I read it in the early fifties.
Found substantiation of its use by Salinger on a page entitled "Mr. Gross' Home Page" at a site named Webdreamer
I hope I am not violating a rule by clicking 'Save page' I am entirely new to participating.
Thank you

- It's copyright if you just save copy and paste. If you can reword it, so this not a generic copy, then its allowed. Have a read of WP:Copyright Brian | (Talk) 06:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure it the article is factually correct; at least, this page: claims Cook didn't actually invent the phrase.
Requested move
This template must be substituted. Replace {{Requested move ...}} with {{subst:Requested move ...}}. Here are some reasons why I believe "till" should be used in the page name:
- Google: ~12,000 hits for the former phrase and ~30,000 for the latter
- Grammar: According to "The Columbia Guide to Standard American English" (1993), " 'Til is a variant spelling used by those who think (incorrectly) that till is a clipped form. At best it looks old-fashioned and self-conscious. Use till instead."

- Oppose it could also be It’s not over until the fat lady sings. The article is fine as it is. --evrik 20:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
