I googled the exact phrase and got 12,900 matches: [link]
One also had the phrase "death by a thousand cuts" which is similar but sounds a little more gory....
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know I've used it for 20 years, because we used it all the time at a job I had that pretty much consisted of being duck food.

LexisNexis has an instance of it in the Washington Post back in 1979, and that article uses it as if it's nothing new.

ION, today was the first day of school for my cousin's three-year-old, who needs a little early intervention. There was some miscommunication with the bus company, and he wasn't picked up until my cousin called to find out why they were 45 minutes late. Then, they lost him tonight. Poor cousin was out waiting for him to get off the bus. The bus comes, and he's not on it, and his two neighbor friends were freaking out about how they weren't allowed to let Noodle on the bus with them.
The school had him and was terribly apologetic about the whole mix-up, but still. He's three! You don't lose him! Even for a second!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Eek vw, that's terrifying. Seriously, if it were my kid, that'd be the first AND LAST day at school, at least at that school.

I KNOW! That's what I said to her. But, she's going to give them another day to figure it out. I felt so badly for her, though, because she was already all worked up about sending her baby to school so young. Then all that. Ugh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We were talking about animals and shoes here yesterday, yes?
LOLcats has something to say about that.
He's three! You don't lose him!
Exactly! That must have been so scary for her.
