Cheese it, the
fuzz! Is generally a term used when you are committing illegal or dubious activities and the
local law enforcement officers arrive, looking to get up in your grill. 'Cheese it' was first heard in the gangster movies of the 50's, such as West Side Story and all them.
However, this current incarnation of the phrase was pioneered by T-Rex on the popular online comic Qwantz by
Ryan North. Essentially, T-Rex is secretly stalking his fiend, Utahraptor. In the last panel, the
local law enforcement get all at him, and so he shouts, 'Cheese It, The Fuzz!'
T-Rex: So what's happening with you Utahraptor?
Utahraptor: I've got a stalker
.....
T-Rex: Cheese It! The
Fuzz!
You: Hey, let's go tag up the place with our
little symbols and generic stuff.
Buddy: Yeah, let's hit it.

You: Cheese It! The
Fuzz
