Otherwise I wouldn't have even wasted my fingers typing all this madness but yes. First time i've told this story since mid 90's. I can still produce said article and date of our review and no mention of NU-METAL before that date but within weeks of our review... BOOOOOOOOOOOOM NU-METAL is a thing. |

PoeticallyIncorrect (OP) User ID: 18043005 United States 11/26/2015 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It originated from a guy named Dr Marvin Shillington. He was infamous for lobbying for tobacco in the late 50's. He was the guy directly responsible for the advertising campaigns in the late 50's and early 60's that not only denied that smoking was bad, but promoted the fact that it was actually good for you.It is estimated that big tobacco made over 2 billion dollars ( 1960's) money as a direct result of his campaigns or "shilling'. It used to be termed as pulling a shillington, but somewhere along the lined got shortened to shill. That's where it came from.

I have heard it used in reference to real estate transactions for several decades. It has taken on a new meaning with respect to the internet. "One person with courage is a majority." - Thomas Jefferson "You’ve heard that we are what we eat. But we also are what we think". “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." -William F. Buckley Jr. |
