the etymology of this pharse (Emphasis mine)
Ah, W'ON, you are the king of the Freudian slip these days aren't you!
Having been gainfully employed as an actor(ess) for 5 years some time ago, I should probably have some idea about this, but I don't really. I agree with the site that says (and I paraphrase) "If we're using this to trick the evil spirits of the stage, then those spirits sure are dumb."
