TNG s2e19 “Manhunt”

Really, even Memory Alpha has nothing beyond that mention. It certainly sounds like a phrase and person of that era.

    My headcanon is that the author of the holonovel wasn’t as well versed in early 20th century slang as they purported to be, and the phrase is an in-universe anachronism.

      I can see that. The 1940’s block was full of what’s now considered nonsense like moxie, cahoots, and “what’s the rumpus?”
