Example 1:
Referenced in the movie PCU.
A character named 'Pigman' sits on a couch in front of a TV for seemingly days without getting up. When he finally gets up, he realizes that his body is so cramped from being still that he quickly falls to the floor and shouts out:
"Pins and needles!...Pins and needles!"
Example 2:
Referenced by the rock
band Blur in a song called "Song 2":
"When I feel heavy
metal
And I’m pins and I’m needles
Well I
lie and I’m
easy..."
