It's a peek into the insider game of comedy. Every group has some gag, some saying that gets circulated that doesn't leave that group due to lack of context -- you had to be there type things -- or due to it being risque and taboo, like the Aristocrats. A similar thing for newspaper writers would be the Order of the Occult Hand [1], in which writers tried to slip that phrase into copy without the editors discovering it. These things are not cataloged because cataloging them would defeat the whole purpose. While the net has a lot of info, there's quite a bit of inside baseball that doesn't make it online.
