OG coined it, didn't he?

Or did he pick up on it already being used?

In any case, I understood that it was being used to send up the Norfolk locals that are unable to pronounce even the most straightforward of foreign surnames.

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is with using it, not that I do as it happens, but I'm sure that's down to my ignorance on such sensitivities
