I brought him up recently to a friend who is from California of that era, using it to describe the level of finesse of something, she spit out coffee and laughed really hard. It was almost like a cryptic joke that only people subjected to it would understand.

And then, Johnny Carson used to rag on him from time to time and even had him on the show at least once.

I used to drive past it regularly when I was in that part of the world.
