Pre-dates the Internet?

Er... this term was in use *long* before the internet arrived. — This unsigned comment was added by 204.237.91.46 (talk).

Any evidence? It's very hard to find it in Google Books at all. Equinox ◑ 07:03, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Know Your Meme says this was inspired by a meme from 2010. The earliest use I've found in print is from January 2011. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 03:19, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Etymology

I'm curious about the origin of this. Was it coined as a masculine version of get one's knickers in a twist? Knickers is generally used to refer to feminine underwear, after all. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 03:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
