Antedatings for BBC List

[Fred Shapiro]

Just to avoid duplication of work in case anyone other than me is
interested in working on the OED/BBC Word Hunt Appeals List, the following
are terms (in addition to the ones I have posted on ADS-L) for which I
have found antedatings:

something for the weekend
1986 from Nexis

Jaffa
1989 from Nexis

pass the parcel
1954 from Newspaperarchive
