Does that phrase appear anywhere but in Dr Who?

It does? Damn, I thought I invented it.

It does appear in a movie I like. One with Sissy Spacek and some "raggedy man" who turns out to be her long lost husband and saves them from two hillbillies that attack her and her two sons. Good movie. I forget the name.

It's my new preferred term for moslems. It has a cooler ring than "ragheads". Dontcha' think?

p.s. Never watched Dr Who.

Naw. Too famous from Dr Who. When Matt Smith becomes the Doctor (2010-32013), the Tardis explodes a bit and eventually lands in the garden of the little girl who becomes his companion as an adult. Because he was so sooty and disheveled, she often refers to him as Raggedy Man. The last thing she says to him is “Goodbye, Raggedy Man.” Obviously, a Dr Who fan here.

Raggedy Man is what Tina Turner calls Mel Gibson in Thunderdome too.
