Seems like it started around the early 1990's. I made 8th level in October of 1991 and the term was already in use at that time.
That was around the same time that we were no longer allowed to specify the option content on our randomly assigned vehicles (I cheated and schmoozed the fleet coordinator with the option content for a GMT400 extended cab short box pickup, 350 cu inch manual 5 speed, black exterior with the argent full face styled steel wheels and P275 tires, which she submitted. That was the last time I was able to pick the options besides drive-and-buys).
