I coined this phrase in 1992 after watching the movie Vacation. I had gone into a Wal-Mart store for the very first time and it was amazing in comparison to the Kmarts and Sears of the time. I started using this phrase within my group of friends and it spread. I called it this because half of the name which is Wal was also part of Wallyworld which was the amusement park used in the movie Vacation. This store was like my amusement park of the time because we had nothing here in Arizona to go do but to frequent the local Wal-Mart. The term originated in 1992 in Arizona by T. Klimek.
