I Need Some Help



from the three of you people that read this blog. Today we were driving home from breakfast and a car didn't come to a complete stop in from of Emily and me. This irked Emily a bit and all I could say was "Hollywood stop." Which got me to thinking, what is the origin of Hollywood stop? I did a google serach and found one page that defined the term for me (something I already knew), but gave no etimology. Click here for the link (it's a random and quasi-adequate collection of vernacular).

All other pages I found were for websites criticizing Hollywood, as:

"Hollywood, stop bashing Arabs!"
"Hollywood, stop reading fictitious scripts!"
"Hollywood, stop making fun of Indians!"

You get the idea. So now I know what a lot of people want Hollywood to stop doing, but I still don't know where the driving term "Hollywood stop" came from.

Can anyone help me?
