Weird & Interesting science, take 2

Linguistics is science, right?

Here's a Stack Exchange thread on the origin and varients of the phrase "Let's blow this Popsicle stand!"

The teal deer is that "blow" in that sense probobaly originates from turn of the (20th) century crime drama if not actual street slang, and after several mutations the specific wording was probably popularized by being used in the movie War Games anda couple of other late '70s/early '80s media pieces.
