IN THERE LIKE SWIMWEAR
I was watching ESPN Bowling (the only tv show not to mention Iraq) and the announcer said that the ball was "In there like swimwear!"
Again, this is BOWLING. They know from swimwear?
Google Groups has it from 15 July 1993.
It's also on this web site, which has other slang:

Greetings from Colombo. No sign yet of Peter Falk or Arthur C. Clarke.
POOL CHANGING ROOM--From a sign seen at my hotel. What do the swimming pools change in to?
"TEENAGE"-FOR ADULTS ONLY--A film playing at a local cinema here. What's next, a film titled KIDS with an "R" rating?
