I don't know where the phrase comes from, but let's "stop the insanity." For a couple of years, I've been collecting uses of what I call the free-floating "Waldorf." That is, the word Waldorf attached to some other word or concept in order to give it some (Waldorf) meaning, whether it deserves it or not, whether it actually means anything or not. (For those who don't know, the word Waldorf in Waldorf school comes from the Independent Waldorf School, founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919. It was so-called because it was, initially, a school for the education of the children of the employees of the Waldorf Astoria Cigarette Factory, although it quickly outgrew this clientelle. And, yes, the owners were the same family as the owners of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. So, in the end, Waldorf salad and Waldorf school are, indeed, loosely connected.)
Here's the list. Feel free to add other examples in Comments, and I'll update periodically.
