I also remember "sit on it and rotate"(as the speaker was giving you the
finger) from about 1963  in Richmond VA.

Same period or a few years earlier, "Purge and rotate", which I originally
misheard as "Persian rotate". I think the locale was a summer camp, so the
sources could have been from anywhere in the Northeast or even a wider
range.
