I can remember John Travolta's character saying it a lot. But I was thinking that characters like Richie, Joanie, and Fonzi were using it on Happy Days first.

Had anyone heard "Mike Hunt" used the way it was in Porky's before they got the girl at the diner to ask if he was there. "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

"Practically everybody in town, from what I hear."

I took the meaning of your thread that they're made up words or abbreviations...that could arguably be added to the Dictionary due to the adoption of public usage.

Like for instance...this was added to the OED.

Wasn't Festivus made up for Seinfeld? People in my office would tell someone who was bitching about something stupid, "You'll have to wait til Festivus to air those grievances"

It was usually enough to get a FU back.

Totally made up story, but I do know people asked me if any of my neighbors cellebrated Festivus when I told them my neighbor looked like an LSU fan when he was going to his parents to celebrate Kwanzaa.
