[Ads-l] human wrecking ball

[Jonathan Lighter]

There's a 1971 ex. in the Philadelphia News (July 16), p. 40, but I don't
feel like paying Newspapers.com extra to see the whole sentence.

I've heard it many times, esp. in the past few years. Seems like it was
originally used for football players.

Later for a certain president.
