What is the earliest pop culture reference to "taint"? The furthest back I can remember is that SNL sketch with Conan O'Brien and the guy who lost his taint. "Taintless Ted" or something.
Had something similar happen years ago just before I came down with the Flu. Freaked me out at the time, but wasn't really relevant for long since I ended up bed-ridden and half-conscious for the next week. Was gone once I recovered.
