It was Tuesday, May 20, 2003 when david nicol took the soap box, saying:
: --- perlvar.old	Mon May 19 23:54:33 2003
: +++ perlvar.new	Tue May 20 02:39:13 2003
: +TMTOWTDI: Consider using "real" multidimensional arrays and hashes as described
: +in L<perlref> and L<perllol>.

L<TMTOWTDI|perlfaq1/Is Perl difficult to learn?>

It's funny that this term is not mentioned more in the docs.

[cwest@crema pod]$ grep TMTOWTDI *
perlfaq1.pod:to do it" (TMTOWTDI, sometimes pronounced "tim toady"). Perl's
perlfaq7.pod:As with most things in Perl, TMTOWTDI.  What is a "static variable" in
[cwest@crema pod]$

Good work.
