I didn't know the term "honey-do ham" existed until seeing in

In 44 years and a half dozen call signs I have to say I've never heard the

I'm wondering if it is something that was invented on the Internet, sort
of like the current popular practice of capitalizing HAM as though it were
some kind of an acronym.
