Never. Like one badly advised politician on TV, once ever! And maybe Fred Dinenage on the Computer Programme, or something [0,1]

Fred Harris, surely?

Damnit, Fred Harris, of course. Thanks. Old mind plays tricks. Also I found a sweet "Micro Live" episode (Ian McNaught-Davis and Lesley Judd), but no mention of the "superhighway".

By "witnessed" I meant in person. By "mockery" I meant mockery of politicians and cluesless media personalities.

I mean, who talks like that?

(I did have one especially goofy friend once confide in me that he had been "surfing the nets")

It must be an American thing because I only remember hearing it in one episode of The Simpsons. Can you imagine if it was the normal term?

"I must remember to get my information superhighway connected as soon as I move into my new apartment!"

"Hey is your information superhighway dropping out? Mine is."

"Did you hear Jenna had her pictures leaked on the information superhighway?"

It was a term for politicians, too bulky for normal conversation. We said Surf the ‘net in 90s California.

I could've sworn I saw it used unironically in Wired magazine more than once...

But yeah, never used by a real world person.
