Whilst it would be nice to be able to say that the free worlds policy
makers have a formal education with a sound historical base, I think
unfortunately, the reference may be from a slightly more cosmopolitan
source:

A popular movie...

Script Excerpt - Quote/ [http://www.movie-page.com/scripts/DieHard.txt]
211     INT. 38TH FLOOR                                       211

        McClane push the chair into the shaft.

                                MCCLANE
                 Geronimo...motherf**kers.

        For a long moment there is nothing, then:  the shaft is filled
        with light, then SOUND -- an ungodly ROAR -- and McClane is
        thrown back across the elevator corridor against the other
        back of doors by the concussion wave.
