What is the phrase? Oddly, although the phrase was routinely used to encourage the audience to leave, the first time that

it was announced it was to encourage them to stay in their seats. That first use was in 1956 by Horace Logan, who was the announcer at the Louisiana Hayride show, in which ____ was a regular performer. ___ had very quickly become very popular with teenagers but had previously taken a regular lowly spot at the Hayride, which was his first big break. He was on the bill quite early in proceedings but after his performance was over and the encore complete, the crowd of teenagers, who weren't Hillbilly enthusiasts, began to leave and hence the phrase was used to hold them down

Since then, the phrase has gone on to be a way to demark a cool or fashionable exit like homeruns.

X's death was fittingly mysterious. On October 3, 1849, X was found on the streets of Baltimore delirious, "in great distress, and... in need of immediate assistance". He was taken to the hospital, where he died on Sunday, October 7, 1849, at 5:00 in the morning. X was never coherent long enough to explain how he came to be in his dire condition, and, oddly, was wearing clothes that were not his own. X is said to have repeatedly called out the name "Reynolds" on the night before his death, though it is unclear to whom he was referring. All medical records, including his death certificate, have been lost. Newspapers at the time reported X's death as "congestion of the brain" or "cerebral inflammation", common euphemisms for deaths from disreputable causes such as alcoholism. The actual cause of death remains a mystery, although speculation thrives. One theory, dating from 1872, indicates that cooping – in which unwilling citizens who were forced to vote for a particular candidate were occasionally killed – was the cause of X's death.

Founded by Stepan Pachikov, this is a suite of software and services. It has an animal as its logo. To the question- “Why that particular animal as the logo?”, it has been suggested, and is probably implied, that the answer can be found in the book title of an Agatha Christie novel featuring Hercule Poirot, or the alternate name of the 1939 Oliver Hardy movie called Zenobia- both of which may have been derived from a popular belief. Which suite of software and services am I talking about?
