Nice one. It certainly beats the pants (or indeed kilt) off the rationale of its parent usage (and source of the phrase), which relies on snore-inducing sophistry about the word 'born'. (i.e. a C-section. Hope that wasn't a big spoiler for all of you that were waiting for the movie version to come out...)
