The Simpsons: Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey

Discussion with Eric this evening - who coined the term "cheese-eating surrender monkey" ? To our eternal shame, neither of us knew it was from "The Simpsons". This page has an audio clip of Groundskeeper Willie saying it.


Eric wants to know who coined the phrase, "to coin a phrase" ? This site says it first appeared in print around 1940.
