Does anyone know how long this has been around as an adverb, and where? A search of this site reveals an example of the usage I'm thinking of. Maverick wrote:
I have often thought about forming a Guy Fawkes Party, with the intention of re-introducing fireworks (big time) to the Mother of Parliaments, raddled old whore that she's become!

I thought it was British and of recent vintage, or recent popularity; then I found it in P.J. O'Rourke from about fifteen years back in this same sense.

(N.B. If it's a catchphrase from television or film, I am completely ignorant of both.)
