The origin
A British research council opened a public vote to name a polar research ship, and this entry won by a wide margin.
How it spread
The name was not given to the ship, but was given to an autonomous underwater vehicle instead, and the phrase became a template for any joke poll answer.
What it means
A standing warning about open voting. The joke is institutional, not personal.
