22. Awkward to post this but the first time I noticed the term "nothing burger" used

was from the person at this link in May 2017 (not listed in the link you cited).

Anne Gorsuch Burford, who was appointed by Saint Ronnie the Reagan, called her EPA appointment a "nothing-burger." She went on to help strip regulations that were originally designed to protect the environment.
