That name was based on a genuine, though very obscure, saying, "only fools and horses work for a living", which had its origins in 19th-century American vaudeville.
Ime je bilo temeljeno na originalnoj, ali i vrlo nejasnoj uzrečici, "why do only fools and horses work? (for a living) - "Zašto samo budale i konji rade? (za život)", koja korijene vuče iz američkog vodvilja 19. stoljeća.
