- Comment - The phrase is ubiquitous and in my opinion the encyclopedia would be improved if a sourced piece on this activity and nervous tic can be produced. Content here goes well beyond a dictionary definition. This would be a good one for RESCUE SQUAD to take a look at, in my opinion. No formal recommendation at this time. 02:45, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
