american-corporate-buzzwords-by-decades

[Garson O'Toole]

The 1980s has "dog and pony show" listed as a buzzword. This phrase
was discussed on the ADS list in November 2010.

Michael Quinion has a valuable discussion at World Wide Words that was
updated in December 2010. The term was used non-metaphorically in
1885.
