query: "stud muffin"

[Barnhart]

I suspect on the basis of the following quotation that 1985 is more likely
and that 1984 is a distinct possibility.

5. In Washington, House and Senate budget conferees agree to call each
other by nicknames such as "Stud Muffin."  Dave Barry, "ETC.: A Look Back
At 1985," Chronicle-Telegram [Elyria, Ohio], Jan. 9, 1986, p D-11

The expression did appear in a movie: Mrs. Doubtfire [1993] based on a
book entitled Alias Madame Doubtfire (c. 1987).

David
