Norman Mailer 

Answering a question extremely quickly, especially a rather difficult one.

The term is named after the author himself, as well as an absolutely golden moment during Meredith Viera's time as the host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", where a contestant phoned a friend for $250,000, and said friend instantly told him the correct answer - Norman Mailer.
Contestant: "Bob, in 1960, what author stabbed his second wife, Adele, with a pen knife during an argument at a party?"

Bob (before contestant even reads any of the choices): Norman Mailer!

*Audience cheers*

(A few moments later, contestant locks in Norman Mailer and gets it right)
