    I think "raise a great hue and cry" predates our boy Leon and may be a Shakespear thing.

      Forms of the term "hue and cry" date from at least the 13th century and are first encountered in the Anglo-French legal documents of that period.

        See, cope and seethe is as old as the English language. It's a very important thing to say to someone.

    Aside from it not being his coining, it's rich to see him try to drop a "cope and seethe" about a decade into his career of being a professional cope and seether just before finally being put out of his misery pika-pickaxe
