    Not sure if this catch-phrase has been noted on here, but I was listening to A Way With Words on NPR this weekend, and someone called in because their parents always said "who's yehudi?" and the caller was wondering where that came from. Here is the wikipedia link to that catch-phrase: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who's_Yehoodi%3F Although wikipedia only says the phrase was meant to describe a "mysteriously absent person", I believe the hosts on AWWW said that it could also be used to represent a question to which the answer was a mystery. Could this possibly be the inspiration for "Who is John Galt?"? After all it was popular in the 1930's, and just about everyone would be familiar with it. Is this really old news?
