See this Washington Post article how this name apparently made up in the year 2000 (!) by a reporter for an unreliable source became an internet meme in 2018. Space4Time3Continuum2x (talk) 04:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Correction. The term was used in 1924 by "a reporter for the young tabloid New York Daily News" in "a breezy, joking announcement from the Democratic convention hall in Madison Square Garden declaring that the “Klanbake steamed open at 12:45.” No other mention anywhere by anyone until 2000 when an editor and columnist for the same tabloid unearthed it "perhaps because he found the word used in his own paper’s archive. Maeder offered no evidence to support this contention."Space4Time3Continuum2x (talk) 05:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
