Everyone's a Pioneer

Usually finding random firsts is pretty easy. However, sometimes I just want to know who the first person to do something is and it's about something that no one else would ever care about. Then there are the times when it's just not really documented like who was the first Texas truck accident lawyer?

For instance, my recent decorating show binge left me wondering, "Who was the first person to say 'pop of color'?". It's now really the only way to describe any kind of decorative accessory. The vase exists just to lend a 'pop of color' in the room. Does the guy who first said it now regret that it’s taken over the entire world? This is the kind of stuff that no one seems to have documented and wikipedia doesn't even care about, but I do.
