I've got access to Nexis, let me check.

Yes, and you could put it on Uban Dictionary as a phrase you just plucked out the air,
of course even tho you just invented it that won't necessarily mean you were the first to use it, but if you then find it's later become a very popular phrase you may have still helped popularise it.
And BTW I've checked and it's not yet defined so go for it! ;)
