Origin - The term is originally a fusion of the term "Everything's coming up roses!" and a reference to the character Milhouse Van Houten from the long running animated show "The Simpsons". The term "Everything's coming up roses!" originates as a song from the muscial Gypsy and is commonly used to convey a sense of good fortune or happiness. The writers of "The Simpsons" took that sentiment and played it off against the perpetual disapointment of the show's eternal fall guy, Milhouse Van Houten. Term first appeared in episode "Mom and Pop Art" of "The Simpsons" on April 4th 1999, and has since entered general use. Many intelligent and sexy critics believe that this phrase is among the most expressive new idioms to have been created in the 20th Century.
