(Unfortunately, Susan's typist hasn't found a description of the phrase's origin more specific than 'first half of the 1900s,' but sources seem to agree that it's more of a US phrase than a UK phrase. And the film Cradle Robbers, which Susan is unlikely to know (but could possibly be aware of) is about literal infants. We must conclude that at the very least, no one as dared say it to Susan's face until now.)
