It feels like I first heard that phraseology used in Buffy (the TV <br>
series), which led to it being used as an explicit term in further Buffy <br>
episodes, and other shows, movies, comics, etc.<br>

(Also, explicitly, in Bill Willingham's wonderful FABLES comic series, <br>
with Bigby Wolf, who was, along with having a human form at times, indeed <br>
the original Big Bad Wolf.)<br>
