Might I please point out that this ‘clever title’ is a rip-off of a Kliban cartoon.
I remember hearing an interview where she mentions that the title was from an embroidery that her grandma had on her wall or on a cushion
Cool
Interesting! Do you have a link to the cartoon?
No! Actually… and I had to investigate. I am probably mistaken. However it is an old and well-used phrase according to this:

Thanks for the follow up. It does seem like a phrase that multiple people thought of over the years. I think it’s a very fitting title for this album with the combination of witty lyricism and slackerish vibes.
I will need to listen to it!
