I don't know the exact origin. It's a bit like "when the shit hits the fan". I don't think you're supposed to ask who's fan and where did the shit come from and how come it gets near the fan anyway? It's just a colourful expression which is a bit more fun that saying "if I'm mistaken". We're all agreed that avoiding calculating the matrix is pretty pointless.
