An interesting point Tom.
As a fan of CC & BS (I know there are S&A purists out there who have no time for these two works) I always thought that P & S were minor characters who didn't actually add much to the plot.
I've just done a quick search online and the expression is well used (not always in an AR context but with connections such as a sailing blog of that name!), but nothing so far on its origins.
