        There is a good writeup on the English Language stack exchange and on Wikipedia all of whose early sources are for the normal version or things like it https://english.stackexchange.com/a/508940

        If you have a better citation, please share, but since they only find the Tumblr version from the 1990s I’m saying it’s bollocks.
