Apr 25, 2012 - Scootaloo pointed out the dangling thread in Fluttershy's
story: Rainbow Dash's race. _Put a pin in it_ for now, Scootaloo. Speaking
of putting pins in things, we next hear Rarity's story. (See what I did

Not in Green's; almost in the UD from '09:
_Put a pin in that_  A douchey/ middle management way to say "let's come
back to that later," or, "hold that thought." Increasingly popular in
business speak.


"Put a pin in it" is one of many annoying catch-phrases used by my mother.
I don't recall when I first heard it, but it had to have been some time
after I could talk well enough to bother her, hence ca. 1942. Who knows
when she first heard it?
