OP tsu: Neither had I, and that was another reason for the thread, one reason for which was to help validate the technique suggested by the two Googlings. A ratio of 40:1 appears to be an almost certain indication, as TEd confirms
Unless of course the base figures are much larger, as reflected in a ratio of say 12 million to 300,000, in which case one might suspect it has caught on leftpondwise as well
I find as a rule of thumb that less than 276 onshore hits brands an expression as not current nor widespread
These criteria are of course subject to adjustment by extended verification and hence the need for additional followups--my most hearty thanks, all
